This painting shows a farm with outbuildings and a hillside beyond, covered in snow. Beatrix Potter made this watercolour study in 1909, while staying at her home in the Lake District. She enjoyed sketching outdoors, especially in mist and snow, which she thought made the landscape even more impressive.
