From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Three Staffordshire figures of women is a 14 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Here’s a small set of watercolours by Beatrix Potter. Three Staffordshire figures of women were painted in September 1908 while she stayed in Wales. The work shows her eye for detail outside her usual children’s books. Potter sketched these figures during a family holiday in Denbighshire. It’s one of many trips she took there before her 1913 marriage. Curious about her process? Look up the artist Beatrix Potter.
A sheet contains three watercolor studies of Staffordshire figures depicting women. Two of the studies show the same figure, a woman reading, rendered from different perspectives. The drawings were made by Beatrix Potter during a visit to Gwaynynog, Denbighshire, Wales, from September 19 to 23, 1908. The sheet was later acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1973 as part of the Linder Bequest.
