Drawings of common or viviparous lizard is a 1885 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter painted this watercolor of common lizards in 1885. She was known for her sharp eye and careful notes on animals. This work shows that even before Peter Rabbit, she studied nature closely. Potter kept lizards and other pets in her schoolroom as a child. She often sketched them with details about each species. Her early drawings reveal a deep interest in natural history. Next, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
