1908
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a 1908 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows two small statues on pedestals. The one on the left is a man in old-fashioned clothes, holding a bag and standing on a round base. The right figure is a woman in a long dress, balancing a basket on her head while holding a bunch of flowers. The artist used quick, loose brushstrokes—no fancy shading or blending here. The colors are simple: earthy tones for the man, soft pastels for the woman. Check out Beatrix Potter for more of her playful, everyday scenes.
A watercolour drawing over pencil depicts two Staffordshire figurines. The male figure on the left wears a brown coat and hat with yellow breeches, holding a pot with both hands. The female figure on the right is dressed in a white print dress with a crimson bodice, carrying a basket of fruit on her head beside a tree. Grey and purple washes create shadows to the left of the figures, and additional figurines appear to the left of the sheet.
