About this work

Beatrix Potter painted a quiet watercolour of a village buried in snow. It’s dated March 7, 1909, and done in soft watercolours you can almost feel. Potter sketched outdoors every season at Hill Top in the Lake District. She loved how snow turned the hills mysterious and grand. Check out more snowy scenes by her at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
