After John Constable (British, 1776-1837) View of Stoke-by-Nayland, Suffolk oil on canvas 21 x 26½cm (8 x 10in) Other Notes: John Constable's "View of Stoke-by-Nayland, Suffolk" is in Tate Britain. Two old repaired tears. Old stencil - not Christie's - of PO 2501. Some craquelure and old stretcher bar marks can be seen from the front. Stamp - I have not seen this one before and there is no British colourman or partnership of colourmen I know of with those initials. Occasionally local, retail colourmen restamped canvases they had bought from larger manufacturers, so I suppose it could be the stock stamp of a provincial supplier, but looks more like a (rather large) inventory number to me. I am sorry not to be able to help, but I'm not sure it is a colourman's stamp.
