Beatrix Potter painted this quiet watercolour of a lake scene around 1905–1913. The work shows a calm view across water to rolling hills, likely from her beloved Lake District. While famous for Peter Rabbit, she also spent summers sketching these landscapes. The watercolour captures a peaceful moment before her life shifted after marriage. Next time you’re in London, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more of her art.
