Landscape with Figure

Attributed to George Morland British
Former Attribution John Constable British
late 18th–early 19th century

A man who holds a long-handled tool, perhaps a scythe, kneels before a small cottage surrounded by trees. The attribution is not certain but aspects of the draftsmanship resemble works by George Morland, who specialized in rustic subjects.
