This watercolour sketch shows the garden at Gwaynynog, where Beatrix Potter stayed often before she married. It was likely made in March 1909 as art for her book The Tale of the Flopsy Bunnies. The garden inspired several of her unpublished stories too. Potter loved Gwaynynog’s rambling paths and old house. She used the spot for both published tales and private writing. Check out more of her work at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
