From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Sketch of a shed, cold frames and water butts in the garden at Gwaynynog is a 16 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This soft watercolour shows a quiet garden corner with sheds and water barrels. Beatrix Potter painted it on her September 1907 visit to her aunt and uncle’s place in Wales. Potter often stayed at Gwaynynog, a rambling old house that also inspired her unpublished bat and well stories. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of her work.
A watercolour and pencil sketch depicts a garden shed with its door partially open, accompanied by two large water butts on the right side and a smaller container partially visible. Cold frames containing vegetables occupy the foreground, while pencil outlines of bushes appear on the right.
