Constable's Parents

These two portraits by John Constable are now believed to be a matching pair, showing his parents: Golding and Ann Constable. Curators identified them while preparing for the latest exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery: Constable Portraits: The Painter and His Circle, which opens tomorrow and continues until 14 June (title link). I previewed this exhibition in January (CLICK). For the story of the above paintings CLICK.

If you don't manage to get to see the exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery, you can see it from 27 June - 6 September at Compton Verney in Warwickshire - see www.comptonverney.org.uk
