Sketch of mountains is a 1906 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour shows a quiet mountain scene, likely from the Lake District. Beatrix Potter painted it between 1900 and 1913. The work stays unfinished, with trees on the left still roughly sketched. Potter spent summers in the Lake District for years. She bought a farmhouse there in 1905. This piece shows her careful study of the local hills and woods. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
