A watercolour and pencil sketch from 1913 depicts a rural landscape in Denbighshire, featuring sheep grazing on a pasture in the foreground beneath a sky rendered in yellows and blues, with trees and rolling hills in the background. The work was created during one of Beatrix Potter’s visits to Gwaynynog, the home of her relatives, before her marriage later that year. It was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum as part of the Linder Bequest in 1973.
