Study of a tree trunk is a 1903 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Beatrix Potter is best known for Peter Rabbit, but she also painted nature. This watercolor, Study of a Tree Trunk, shows her close attention to detail. It may relate to Old Brown’s oak tree from The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, set on Derwentwater. Potter often drew from real scenes before writing her stories. Look up the artist Beatrix Potter next.
