3067026 Williamstown Strand (oil on board) by Constable, John (1776-1837); 16.8x26.6 cm; Private Collection; (add.info.: The inscription, in the artist\'s hand, is famously enigmatic. It does not refer to an identifiable stretch of coastline near Brighton (which is the most likely coastal scenery for the artist to have sketched in 1826), and while, with the inscription ending rather abruptly, it has been suggested that it may once have read \'Williamstown Stranded\', there is no documentation of a ship of that name being wrecked at that time. ); Photo 穢 Christie\'s Images.
