About this work

Beatrix Potter painted *Rain, Lingholm* in August 1898 using watercolour. She often sketched the landscapes where her family stayed. This piece shows the house at Lingholm with a rainy view of Derwentwater. Potter added the word "Rain" to the title herself. Some details of the house and hills are soft behind the weather.
