A view, through trees, of a lake and mountains is a 1909 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter painted this quiet watercolour of trees framing a lake and mountains around 1905-1913. She used fine brushstrokes on paper to capture a fleeting view outdoors. Potter sketched landscapes wherever she traveled with her parents before her 1913 marriage. A small farm called Hill Top became one of her favorite spots for quick watercolours.
