Beatrix Potter painted a watercolour study for the kitchen in her book The Tale of Mrs Tiggy-winkle. It’s one of several preparatory sketches she made around 1905. The scene shows a cozy interior that later became the hedgehog’s home in the story. Potter often drew the houses she visited. The view here probably comes from a real Lake District cottage in Newlands Valley. If you like this, look up the artist Beatrix Potter.
