Beatrix Potter painted The Fox Pouring Tea in 1919. It’s a watercolour, so the colors feel light and soft. Potter is famous for her Peter Rabbit books, but she also made pictures for Aesop’s fables early in her career. This painting shows her skill with animal characters. She studied how animals move and act to make them feel real. If you like her style, look up Beatrix Potter.
