This is a student drawing by Beatrix Potter from around 1879. It shows a wooden box and glass tumbler—simple still life objects for practice. Potter copied from nature and books, but kept her own style. She studied old masters like Constable and Turner too. Her early training at the National Art Training School helped shape her eye. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
