Beatrix Potter painted *Sidmouth* in 1902. It’s a watercolour of Sidmouth Beach in south Devon. She visited the spot many times between 1899 and 1910. This work stands out because Potter painted people as part of the beach scene. Usually her landscapes focus on the land itself. Here, the visitors become part of the view.
