Watercolor Over Pencil Drawing Beatrix Potter

Drawing of the kitchen at Spout House (Far Sawrey): background study for The tale of Pigling Bland (1913), watercolour over pencil, by Beatrix Potter, probably 1910. Victoria & Albert Museum I love that she used real interiors as backgrounds in her stories. xo

Antique Desk & Mirror Drawing: Beatrix Potter

From 1903 one of Potter's favourite haunts was Gwaynynog in Denbigh Wales, the old rambling home of her uncle and aunt, Fred and Harriet Burton. I am beginning to love her interior sketches as much as those of her animals. Especially because they depict rooms where she stayed when visiting homes of relatives. ©Victoria and Albert Museum
