Snow-covered barn (near Sawrey) is a 5 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, depicting Snow, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter painted this watercolour of a snow-covered barn in 1909, while staying near Sawrey in England’s Lake District. She often sketched outdoors, drawn to how mist and snow changed the landscape. This study is part of her many Lakeland views from that time. Potter bought Hill Top in 1905 and kept returning to paint its surroundings. The date on the work shows she captured this snowy scene early in March. It’s one of several winter studies kept with the Linder Bequest. If you like this kind of quiet, seasonal work, look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A watercolour by Beatrix Potter dated 7 March 1909 depicts a snow-covered barn near Sawrey in the Lake District. The structure appears amid snow-laden trees, with muted browns contrasting against white and blue-grey tones. The scene includes distant hills and foreground trees, part of a series of winter studies made during Potter’s stay at Hill Top. The work was later acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1973 as part of the Linder Bequest.
