1899
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Kirkcudbright Bay is a 1899 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter shows a quiet bay in this watercolour. The scene captures hills and a field near the water. It fits her style from summer trips in the 1890s. She often sketched outdoors during family visits to Scotland or Wales. A similar work from 1899 places cows in the foreground at Kirkcudbright Bay. That link helps date this piece. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
