Sketch of a path and flower beds in the garden at Gwaynynog is a 1909 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Post-Impressionism work, depicting garden, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolor shows a quiet garden path and flower beds. Beatrix Potter painted it in March 1909 at Gwaynynog, her aunt and uncle’s home in Denbigh. The garden there inspired her writing, including an unfinished bat story. Potter spent many holidays there before marrying in 1913. She used the place as a setting for tales like *Llewellyn’s Well*. The sketch is small but full of gentle details. Check out more of Potter’s work at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
