Navigable rivers and canals were crucial to Constable's father's business of trading and transporting coal on and around the River Stour. Constable frequently depicted them as working waterways. Here we see a horse pulling a barge. The use of colour is particularly rich and the handling of watercolour very free. Constable has added touches of white as highlights. This watercolour is on a page from a sketchbook that Constable used in 1832.
