'Landscape Ploughing Scene in Suffolk' is an exemplary work by English artist, John Constable, noted for his significant contributions to Romanticism and the landscape genre. Painted in oil on a canvas, this piece portrays a serene yet lively view of the rural countryside; what Constable referred to as his own "Constable Country".
