1876
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a 1876 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting features a large pink flower with green leaves on a brown background. The flower is the main focus, with its petals and center detailed in various shades of pink. The leaves are a deep green and are positioned below the flower. The flower appears to be a peony, a type of flowering plant known for its large, showy blooms. The artist's use of watercolor creates a soft, delicate effect that adds to the overall sense of elegance. The painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum, which is home to a vast collection of art and artifacts from around the world.
A watercolour drawing in thick pigments over pencil depicts a large rhododendron bloom with pink and red variegation and yellow stamens, accompanied by leaves and stalks. The work is part of the Linder Bequest, a collection of approximately 2,150 items including watercolours, drawings, manuscripts, correspondence, books, photographs, and memorabilia related to Beatrix Potter and her family. The piece was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum from Leslie Linder in 1973 as part of this bequest.
