Beatrix Potter drew this sheet around 1905–1913 in watercolour. It shows three piglet studies on the right and a gate in a wall on the left. She kept an eye on farm life after buying Hill Top in 1905. Potter studied animals from real life. The gate and piglets share the page like quick notes. She used the farm as a setting for her children’s books. Look up her most famous book next: Beatrix Potter.
