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\nBeatrix Potter enjoyed sketching the British landscape in all seasons, capturing the different locations in England, Scotland and Wales that she visited with her parents prior to her marriage in 1913. She completed this loose colour sketch using a warm autumnal palette, suggesting the colours of the leaves falling from the trees in quick brush strokes. \r\n","physicalDescription":"An autumnal woodland scene with a warm colour palette of reds, browns and yellows used for fallen leaves and some use of a wet-on-wet technique, particularly in the upper part of the trees.
