From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Kep is a 4 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a sheepdog standing tall on a snowy hillside. Below it, a flock of sheep huddles near a low stone wall. The sky is pale, and the ground is dusted white, with just a few bare trees scattered around. The artist used soft watercolor strokes to keep the scene simple and calm. The dog’s fur is painted in warm browns, while the sheep and snow stay cool and light. Want to see more of this artist’s work? Check out Beatrix Potter.
A watercolour and pencil drawing by Beatrix Potter depicts a sheepdog standing on rocky, snow-covered ground, gazing to the left where Swaledale sheep are gathered. A few sheep appear behind and to the right of the dog, while a line of bare, snow-laden trees is visible in the background to the left. The sky is rendered in blue and white, with wispy cloud formations. The work was donated by Leslie Linder to the National Book League (now the Book Trust) in 1970 as part of the Linder Collection, a selection of 279 drawings and 38 early editions of Potter’s work.
