Stratford Mill is an 1820 oil on canvas painting by the British landscape artist John Constable.
[3] It acquired a buyer in the loyal John Fisher,[4] who purchased the painting for 100 Guineas, a price he himself thought too low.
[3] In the years to follow Tinney would have to put up with numerous requests from Constable to borrow back his prized possession for rework and exhibitions.
[1] After Tinney's death David Lucas produced a mezzotint, which was published in 1840 under the name ‘The Young Waltonians’ in reference to the Izaak Walton book, The Compleat Angler.
[1] The full size oil sketch is held by the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven.
