Constable painting

Caption

The Taft Museum of Art invited University of Cincinnati geologists, chemists and art historians to the museum's conservation lab to examine a painting on a lab table titled "Landscape with Canal" bearing the signature of landscape artist John Constable. The museum and art historians suspect the painting was actually by a follower of Constable's named Frederick W. Watts. Landscape with Canal, about 1820–60, oil on canvas. Taft Museum of Art, Bequest of Charles Phelps Taft and Anna Sinton Taft, 1931.
