His name was James Perit and he was by all accounts a Golden Youth, brilliant in intellect, of charming address, and blessed with uncommon good looks (I have seen a picture of him – and had I not known that it was painted in Canton I would have thought the sitter was none other than Mr Gainsborough’s ‘Blue Boy’!).

The scene has something of the clouded melancholy that haunts the rural landscapes of Mr Constable: some of the headstones are tilted and overgrown, and some are cocooned in moss.

El escenario transmite una especie de melancolía como la que acecha en los nublados paisajes de Constable: algunas de las lápidas están ladeadas o medio ocultas entre la maleza, otras aparecen cubiertas de moho… Y leer las inscripciones resulta de lo más lastimero, porque, como en el caso de James Perit, muchos de los que aquí yacen fallecieron cuando apenas habían dejado atrás la infancia.
