Woman with Baby Fleeing Across Moors n.d.

This ink and wash drawing by John Constable, titled "Woman with Baby Fleeing Across Moors," depicts a solitary figure, a woman carrying a baby, rushing across a desolate landscape. The woman's cloak billows in the wind, her face obscured, adding to the sense of urgency. The background is dominated by a dramatic sky, with rolling clouds and a distant hill, possibly a ruined castle. The subject matter and dramatic composition evoke a sense of mystery and perhaps even foreboding, characteristic of Constable's work. This small-scale work, housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies the artist's interest in nature and the human condition.
