For now, just to look at
The photograph we have of this work is not sharp enough to print at the quality we want, so we are not selling it for now. We are looking for a better one.

What the museum label doesn't tell you
The portrait remained hidden for decades: it was never exhibited during Constable's lifetime and only entered a public museum in 1910, almost a century after it was painted, through the bequest of a collector unrelated to the family.
