Snowy mountain landscape is a 4 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter painted a snowy mountain landscape in 1909. She used watercolours to capture the Lake District’s hills under snow. This loose study shows her quick, outdoor sketching style. She made many such studies after buying Hill Top in 1905. In March 1909, staying there, she focused on the dramatic look of fells in mist and snow. Potter is better known for children’s books like *Peter Rabbit*. Check out her other Lake District sketches at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
A loose watercolour and pencil study by Beatrix Potter, dated 4 March 1909, depicts a snowy mountain landscape with distant hills, executed in broad brushstrokes and minimal detail. The white of the paper serves as the snowy foreground, while shadows and hills are rendered in purples and blues, and the sky blends blues with touches of red and yellow. The work was created during Potter’s stay at Hill Top in Near Sawrey and is part of the Linder Bequest, acquired by the V&A in 1973.
