A watercolour and pen-and-ink design by Beatrix Potter from Christmas 1925 shows a pig in a blue dress and white pinafore seated on a wooden chair, peeling potatoes placed in a bowl to the left. The composition relates to illustrations Potter created for the 1917 book *Appley Dapply’s Nursery Rhymes* and the 1922 book *Cecily Parsley’s Nursery Rhymes*. The work may have been intended as an unused Christmas card design for the ICAA. It was acquired by the V&A in 1973 as part of the Linder Bequest.
