A lake and trees beneath a stormy sky is a 1906 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a quiet scene of a lake lined with trees under a dark, stormy sky. Beatrix Potter made it between 1900 and 1913, part of her habit of sketching outdoors before she married in 1913. Potter often painted the landscapes around Hill Top farm and Esthwaite Water, but this exact spot isn’t named. Next, look up the artist.
