About this work

This sketch shows a quiet village scene with a few houses, bare trees, and a winding path. The colors are soft—pale blues, grays, and earthy browns—with a light, sketchy style. In the foreground, there’s a stone well and a small bridge over a dry ditch. The artist used loose, quick brushstrokes, almost like a quick note of what they saw. The date on the paper reads March 1907, and the signature is small but clear. If you like this style, check out more by Beatrix Potter.

The story of this work

Overview

A watercolour drawing over pencil depicts cottages with trees in the background, a garden, and garden walls in the foreground. A building with a tall red brick chimney is positioned on the left side. The colouring is delicate and sparse. The work was donated by Leslie Linder to the National Book League in 1970 as part of the Linder Collection, which was on long-term loan to the Victoria and Albert Museum from 1989 to 2019.
