Study of mountains, possibly a view towards Catbells is a 1904 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter painted this watercolour landscape around 1904. It shows a quiet view of mountains, maybe the slopes of Catbells. She often sketched nearby Derwentwater during her summer stays. Her family went to the Lake District every year. Potter drew both the scenery and the animals that later filled her children’s books. This sheet is a quick study, not meant to be a finished picture. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for her work.
A watercolour wash over pencil study depicting a mountainous landscape, likely representing a view of Catbells and distant peaks across Derwentwater. The work was created by Beatrix Potter in 1904 during a summer stay at Lingholm in the Lake District. It was later acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1973 as part of the Linder Bequest, which includes Potter-related materials.
