Hautbois Common, Norfolk
Hautbois Common lies near the villages of Great Hautbois and Coltishall, some eight miles northeast of Crome's native Norwich. Although the motif was one that he must have seen, the composition also strongly suggests the influence of the seventeenth-century Dutch painter Meyndert Hobbema. It is very likely that this work was exhibited at the Norwich Society of Artists in 1810 as Scene on Hautbois Common, near Coltishall, Norfolk.
