The Royal Academy is to exhibit the first artwork by a Constable in 200 years - in the form of a drawing by a seven-year-old descendant of The Hay Wain painter.

It will form part of a young artists' exhibition and will go on display next week.
His mother Sasha, who is also an artist, said it is the first time a member of the family will have exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art since the time of the famous English landscape painter.
Valya was aged six when he drew 'Portrait of Nana' and told his 76-year-old grandmother, Valerie Constable, that he ran out of paper to draw the rest of her.

Valya draws mostly with pens and often creates scenes from his vivid imagination.
Earlier this year he had three drawings in a Young Artists' exhibition in Dorset and received a Highly Commended for his work.
