This watercolour shows a mouse knitting, a quirky scene from Beatrix Potter’s playful side. It’s one small piece in a batch of rhyme illustrations she made between 1902 and 1905. Potter had already given the world Peter Rabbit by then. After 1905, life changed and the rhyme book sat untouched for years. Next time you’re in London, see more Potter magic at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
