This painting shows a gentleman and lady rabbit walking through the snow under an umbrella. It’s done in watercolour from 1890. Beatrix Potter made this design to raise money for a printing machine. Her brother Bertram suggested selling her drawings. The image later appeared on a Christmas booklet cover. Check out more of Beatrix Potter’s work at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
