From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A path through a woodland in autumn is a 1906 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter painted *A Path Through a Woodland in Autumn* around 1900–1913. It’s a loose watercolour sketch of a British woodland scene. The warm autumn colours suggest falling leaves with quick brush strokes. She sketched landscapes in England, Scotland and Wales while traveling with her parents before marrying in 1913. This work shows her skill at capturing nature’s fleeting moments. Look up more about Beatrix Potter.
This loose watercolour sketch depicts a woodland path in autumn, rendered in warm tones of red, brown, and yellow to suggest fallen leaves and seasonal foliage. The upper part of the trees is painted using a wet-on-wet technique, creating a soft, blended effect. The work was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1973 as part of the Linder Bequest, a collection of Beatrix Potter’s personal and artistic materials.
