"Study of a Boat Passing a Lock" is an oil sketch by the renowned English Romantic painter John Constable, dated around 1823. This work is part of a series of studies and sketches that Constable created in preparation for his larger and more finished paintings. It depicts a rural scene focused on the activity around a canal lock, a common feature in the English countryside and a subject to which Constable returned frequently in his work.

The painting captures a moment of everyday life, with a boat being guided through the lock gates. Constable's attention to the effects of light and atmosphere, as well as his interest in capturing the dynamic movement of water, are evident in this study. The sketch is characterized by its loose brushwork and the immediacy of its execution, which suggests that it may have been painted en plein air, a practice that Constable helped to popularize among English artists.

"Study of a Boat Passing a Lock" is significant as it provides insight into Constable's working methods and his dedication to observing nature directly. The sketch not only serves as a precursor to his more polished works but also stands on its own as an example of his ability to convey the vitality of the English landscape and the lives of its inhabitants.

The painting is held in a public collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the understanding of Constable's artistic process and the development of landscape painting in the 19th century. It remains an important work within Constable's oeuvre, reflecting his commitment to naturalism and his influence on the landscape genre.
