She wrote the majority of the twenty-three Original Peter Rabbit Books between 1901 and 1913.  The Tale of Peter Rabbit (Frederick Warne, 1902) is her most famous and best-loved tale.  \r\n\r\nFollowing her purchase of Hill Top in the Lake District in 1905 Beatrix Potter made many studies of the Lakeland landscape in all seasons. This watercolour study shows fields and hills, perhaps those near to Hill Top, covered with snow in January 1913. Potter enjoyed sketching outdoors and thought the Lakeland fells 'even more impressive in mist and snow'.\r\n","physicalDescription":"A landscape watercolour sketch with a snowy field in the foreground and trees on the left and dotted throughout the midground, and snowy mountains in the background.
