1891
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a 1891 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting features a mouse in the foreground, holding a plate of food in its front paws. The mouse is depicted in a realistic style, with attention to detail in its fur and facial features. It appears to be standing on its hind legs, giving it a somewhat anthropomorphic appearance. The mouse is shown in a domestic setting, with a wall and a door visible in the background. The wall is painted a light color, and the door is closed. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet, everyday life.

A watercolour drawing by Beatrix Potter from 1891 depicts a mouse wearing an apron and blue slippers, running leftward while holding a plate of red tarts. The mouse’s left fore-paw carries a basket, and its apron features white fabric with blue flowers at the bottom and a blue bow at the neck. The setting includes wainscot panelling in the background. The work was donated by Leslie Linder to the National Book League (now Book Trust) in 1970 as part of the Linder Collection, which was on long-term loan to the Victoria and Albert Museum from 1989 to 2019.
