This is a watercolour sketch of a meadow with a straight line of trees. Made between about 1905 and 1913, it shows the quick style Beatrix Potter used for outdoor studies. Potter owned Hill Top Farm in the Lake District from 1905, and experts think this view might be from there. Check out more of her landscapes at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
