watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Esthwaite Water and snow-covered hills is a 1913 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour shows a quiet winter scene. Beatrix Potter painted Esthwaite Water and snow-covered hills in December 1913. The lake lies near Hill Top, her home in the Lake District. Potter bought Hill Top in 1905. After that, she spent years drawing the local landscape in all seasons. Here she captured a snowy December day with soft watercolours. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
A watercolour by Beatrix Potter from December 1913 depicts a snowy landscape across Esthwaite Water in the Lake District, with the lake occupying the lower two-thirds of the sheet and snow-covered hills visible in the upper third. Traces of pencil under-drawing are present beneath the loosely rendered watercolour. The work was acquired by the V&A in 1973 as part of the Linder Bequest, which includes a substantial collection of Potter-related materials.
