Snow on Bracken is a 1902 watercolor by Frederick T. Penson, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
The painting shows a winter landscape with bare trees and a blanket of snow covering the ground. The trees are tall and slender, with branches that stretch up towards the sky. The snow is depicted in shades of white and grey, with some areas appearing more textured than others. In the foreground, the snow-covered ground is dotted with small patches of brown and green, suggesting the presence of vegetation beneath the snow. The overall effect is one of quiet and stillness, as if the landscape is frozen in time. This painting is reminiscent of the work of the artist Frederick T. Penson.
