From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
A stream running through a forest is a 1902 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter painted “A stream running through a forest” in watercolour around 1890–1913. It’s a quiet landscape, one of many she sketched outdoors on family trips. She loved the British countryside and filled her sketchbooks with scenes like this. Potter turned scenery into stories later—Peter Rabbit’s world grew from these peaceful woods.

A watercolour by Beatrix Potter depicts a stream flowing over rocky terrain in a forested setting, with ferns positioned in the foreground and trees extending into the background. The work was likely created during one of her extended holidays in the British Isles before her permanent move to the Lake District in 1913. It was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1973 as part of the Linder Bequest, a collection of approximately 2,150 items related to Potter and her family.
