The story of this work

Overview

A watercolour drawing over pencil depicts a red brick farmhouse featuring dormer windows and a stable door with a hayloft door above it. A fence is positioned to the right of the structure, and a path leads prominently toward the building. The work was donated to the National Book League by Leslie Linder in 1970 as part of a collection of 279 drawings and 38 early editions of Beatrix Potter's work. The Linder Collection was previously on long-term loan to the Victoria and Albert Museum from 1989 to 2019.
