Snow-covered buildings at the foot of a hill is a 2 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, depicting Snow, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter painted a watercolour of snowy buildings at the foot of a hill. Made in March 1909 at Hill Top in the Lake District, it’s a quick outdoor study. The soft wash shows a quiet winter village. She often sketched Lakeland landscapes in snow. Potter said the fells looked “even more impressive in mist and snow.” Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A loose, unfinished watercolour study by Beatrix Potter depicts snow-covered buildings at the base of a hillside, likely representing the village of Near Sawrey in the Lake District. The composition features a watercolour wash over pencil outlines, with unfinished pencil marks suggesting trees in the lower right corner. Dated 2 March 1909, the work was created during Potter’s stay at Hill Top. It was later acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1973 as part of the Linder Bequest.
