Willy Lott's House

Constable painted Willy Lott's House at Flatford many times and the first in 1802. This oil sketch was probably painted on the spot as it bears a precise date 29 July 1816 and with other sketches was developed into The Haywain of 1820-1. It is the closest known oil sketch to the left-hand side of the Hay Wain. Willy Lott was a tenant farmer, but little is known of his activities. He was born in the house and apparently never spent more than four days away from it in his life.  This sketch belonged to three artists; C.R. Leslie, Thomas Churchyard and B.W. Leader. A copy made by Churchyard exists in the Day Collection.
