1894

From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
The Tweed surrounded by woodland, with the Cheviots in the background is a 1894 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter painted *The Tweed surrounded by woodland, with the Cheviots in the background* around 1894. It’s a watercolour landscape from her time sketching in Scotland or northern England. She often visited this spot with her family in the 1890s, so this scene likely comes from a trip in 1894. Her journal called the river “very” something—she clearly loved these views.

A watercolour, wash, and pencil landscape depicts the River Tweed flanked by woodland, with the Cheviot hills visible in the background. The drawing is attributed to Beatrix Potter and may have been created during her visit to Lennel, Coldstream in the summer of 1894. Potter’s journal describes the river as winding through meadows and reflecting surrounding cliffs and trees. The work was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1973 as part of the Linder Bequest.
