A clearing under snow is a 31 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter painted "A clearing under snow" in watercolour on 31st January 1911. It shows a quiet woodland scene covered in snow. Potter bought Hill Top in the Lake District in 1905. She loved sketching outdoors and once said the Lakeland landscape was "even more impressive in mist and snow." Check out more of her work at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A watercolour over pencil study from January 1911 depicts a snow-covered woodland clearing, with trees positioned in the midground and background. The work was likely created near Hill Top in the Lake District, where the artist frequently sketched the landscape. It was acquired by the V&A in 1973 as part of the Linder Bequest, a collection of Beatrix Potter's personal and artistic materials.
