About this work

Beatrix Potter painted this watercolor around 1908. It’s just a study of a dog’s head named Kep. Small and simple, but you can feel her love for animals in every line. Potter spent her life drawing pets and wildlife. She kept detailed notes on what she saw. This sketch shows that habit in action. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
