About this work

Here’s a watercolor from 1892 by Beatrix Potter. She’s best-known for Peter Rabbit, but she also drew landscapes and animals. A jackdaw sweep shows birds on a garden path. This sketch links to a funny note in her journal. Potter mentions finishing a drawing for a publisher who hadn’t paid yet. Her watercolors feel fresh and natural.
