Beatrix Potter made a quiet watercolour of a snowy Lake District scene one March day in 1909. She often painted the fells and fields under a crisp white blanket—this study came while she stayed at Hill Top farmhouse. The painting shows how light bounces off fresh snow. Simple shapes and soft washes give the scene quiet charm. Check out more of her Lake District studies at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
