This watercolour shows a stretch of the Teign estuary near Shaldon. Beatrix Potter painted it between 1892 and 1910, switching between Impressionist light and Realist detail. Potter visited the spot in 1892, 1909 and 1910. She noted in her journal the river’s shifting tides and the spot where Fanny Burney once wrote. See more of her landscapes at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
