A man walking through a snowy landscape is a 3 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter painted a quiet watercolor of a winter scene. It shows one man moving through deep snow. The date on the sheet is March 3, 1909. Potter bought her farm in the Lake District in 1905. By 1909 she was sketching the fells in every season. This sheet stands out because it’s one of the few with a person in it. Look next at Beatrix Potter.
A loose watercolour study by Beatrix Potter depicts a man walking down a snow-covered hillside in the Lake District. Dated 3 March 1909, it was created during her stay at Hill Top in Near Sawrey. The work is unusual among her landscape studies for including a human figure. It was later acquired by the V&A in 1973 as part of the Linder Bequest.
