From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
View of a bridge from across a river, with boat in foreground is a 1901 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour shows a quiet river scene. A boat sits in the foreground. Across the water, you see a bridge and the south Devon countryside. Potter painted this in stages from 1892 to 1910. She visited Teignmouth three times. In her journal she wrote about looking out at the “muddy estuary.” Check out more of Beatrix Potter’s watercolours at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
