Old Hall, East Bergholt is an 1801 landscape painting by the British artist John Constable.[1] Produced early in the artist's career it shows Old Hall, a country house in East Bergholt in Suffolk.[2] Constable, a recent student at the Royal Academy Schools, was commissioned to produce the work by the property's owner John Reade. It was his first significant commission.[3] East Bergholt was the birthplace of Constable. It appeared frequently in his paintings and is part of what is now known as Constable Country.
