This watercolor by Beatrix Potter shows three small mice spinning thread. It’s part of her early work inspired by a nursery rhyme, made around 1892. Potter planned a tiny booklet to go with the rhyme, but it never got printed. She drew the whole set in careful detail, even though only six pictures were finished. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
