Translation Results Requested Through Conyac Made Public

A previously unknown oil sketch by John Constable has been uncovered by staff at London's Victoria and Albert museum.

The landscape depiction was found beneath a lining canvas on Branch Hill Pond: Hampstead, one of the artist's known works.

The sketch, which was created in the early 1820s, will be put on show at the V&A this week.

The find was made while conservators were preparing for a major Constable exhibition, due to open next year.
