About this work

Potter painted this watercolor on a snowy March day in 1909. She was staying at her own Hill Top farm in England’s Lake District, sketching the quiet hills outside. She loved how the fells looked in mist and snow. A path between fences climbs the hill, its footprints marked by soft blue shadows. The loose brushwork feels quick and fresh—like she stepped outside just to catch the moment. Next time you’re in London, look for it at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
