It is thought that John Constable painted this view from an upstairs window
of his home in Lower Terrace, Hampstead, looking over his own garden and towards a neighbouring house.

A further comment to this wonderful painting, comes with a big thanks to
Mr. L and Mr. X
After a quick dip in the local green ponds, we needed some clean clothes. It was a perfect day, combining some of our favorite activities:
swimming and washing.
