From the first sketch to the final varnish, A Young Girl in a Woodland Landscape is made by hand. Based on John Constable's original. This romantic oil painting wall decor is crafted on artist-grade canvas for anyone who wants portrait oil painting with the character of an original.
Previously untraced and unrecorded this painting is an exciting new discovery. As Graham Reynolds pointed out in recent correspondence, we can see that Constable was clearly inspired by the landscape painting of Cornard Wood (National Gallery, London) by another Suffolk born artist, Thomas Gainsborough. Constable's work was painted at the same time as another oil painting which is a variation on the same theme entitled The Edge of a Wood (Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto) and also the study of The Elm Tree (Victoria & Albert Museum). It should be noted that it has been suggested that these oil paintings may actually date from c. 1816 on the basis of a recently discovered and clearly related pencil drawing which is dated 1816.
Constable has specifically focused his attention upon the depiction of the native British trees, including the prominent elm tree in the foreground of this particular scene. However, the vulnerability of the female figure in red who is walking through the relative darkness of this woodland setting strikes a particular poetic and romantic tone in a painting which is very much more than just a landscape study.
As office wall decor, the piece pairs naturally with other romantic wall art and with warm neutrals, timber, and soft natural light.
We use a 100% hand-painted process: stretched artist-grade canvas, layered oil pigment, and a final protective varnish. There are no inkjet prints or mechanical reproductions in this collection — just a painted figurative artwork made to order.
Build a home office gallery wall around this portrait oil painting, or let it stand alone as a single statement. The hand painted canvas finish keeps the figurative composition looking intentional in both classic and contemporary rooms.
