Study of harebells and marguerites is a 5 watercolor by Beatrix Potter, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a simple bouquet of flowers. Two bright yellow daisies sit in the center, surrounded by purple bell-shaped flowers. The background is just a light, plain color. The stems and leaves are drawn carefully, with soft green and blue lines. The artist used watercolors, keeping the colors light and natural. The flowers look fresh, like they were picked that morning. The painting is small and clean, with no extra details. If you like this style, look up Potter, Beatrix for more of her work.

The verso carries a watercolour sketch of marguerites showing two open blooms and two closed buds. The work was acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1973 as part of the Linder Bequest from Leslie Linder.
