Study of undergrowth with grasses, clover and a snail is a 1902 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter painted *Study of undergrowth with grasses, clover and a snail* around 1890–1913. This watercolour shows her close study of plants and tiny creatures. The snail sits half-finished on a leaf or rock. Potter worked from life, not imagination. Her sharp eyes and careful brush made her book animals look real.
