From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Sketch of the garden and potting shed at Gwaynynog is a 1909 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter painted this watercolor of the garden and potting shed at Gwaynynog in 1909. She visited the Denbigh home often before her 1913 marriage. The garden later inspired one of her unpublished stories. Potter is better known for Peter Rabbit, but she made many landscapes like this. She used watercolors to capture real places she loved. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more of her work.
A watercolour and pencil sketch on paper depicts a garden area with low box hedges and flowerbeds lining the paths. In the background stands a large gabled building identified as a potting shed, accompanied by surrounding trees. The drawing was created by Beatrix Potter at Gwaynynog, Denbigh, likely during her visit in March 1909.
