From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Forest scene with bracken and boulders is a 1894 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter painted *Forest scene with bracken and boulders* around 1894. It’s a watercolour landscape that shows her careful eye for nature. She sketched many scenes like this during summer trips with her family. This one may have been done near Lennel, where she visited in 1894. She’s better known for Peter Rabbit, but this work shows her roots in painting. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour over a pencil sketch depicts a woodland scene featuring bracken in the foreground and boulders on the right, rendered on paper in landscape format. The work is attributed to Beatrix Potter and is believed to have been created during her 1894 summer visit to Lennel, near Coldstream, where she sketched the River Tweed. It was later acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1973 as part of the Linder Bequest, a collection of Potter-related materials.
