"Study for The Leaping Horse" is a preparatory oil sketch by the renowned English Romantic painter John Constable. Created in 1824, this work is a preliminary study for Constable's larger and more famous painting, "The Leaping Horse," which is part of his series of six-foot canvases known as the "six-footers." These large-scale works often depict scenes of the Stour Valley and the surrounding Suffolk countryside, where Constable spent much of his childhood and which continued to inspire his art throughout his life.

The study measures 56.5 x 47 cm and is held in the Royal Academy of Arts in London. It captures the essence of the final painting, featuring a horse leaping over a barrier along the River Stour, with a barge in the background. This sketch allowed Constable to experiment with the composition, lighting, and atmospheric effects before committing to the final version. The dynamic brushwork and the vivid representation of the English weather in the study are characteristic of Constable's innovative approach to landscape painting.

Constable's studies are significant in understanding his artistic process. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he often worked directly from nature and made numerous outdoor sketches and full-scale preparatory paintings before completing his major works. "Study for The Leaping Horse" exemplifies Constable's dedication to capturing the transient effects of light and atmosphere, which he famously referred to as "the chiaroscuro of nature."

This study not only provides insight into Constable's working methods but also reflects his deep connection to the rural landscapes of England. His paintings and studies, including "Study for The Leaping Horse," contributed to the development of landscape painting in the 19th century and continue to be celebrated for their emotive power and technical mastery.
