Willy Lott's House from the Stour is a c.1818 landscape painting by the British artist John Constable. It depicts a view on the River Stour in Suffolk, close to the border with Essex, an area where the artist grew up and is now frequently known as Constable Country.[1] It is also known by the alternative title The Valley Farm.[2]
Willy Lott was a tenant farmer who lived at Willy Lott's Cottage and the property appears in a number of Constable paintings, notably The Hay Wain (1821).[3]
In 2014 the painting was allocated to the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford following its acceptance in lieu.[4]
