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\nBefore her marriage in 1913, Beatrix Potter accompanied her family on extended summer holidays and she often took the opportunity to sketch the places she visited. From 1885 the family regularly spent their summers at Lingholm near Keswick, where Potter made drawings of the parkland and the lake, Derwentwater. This watercolour, which she inscribed with the title or note, ‘Rain’, shows part of the house on the Lingholm estate where the Potters' stayed, while in the background the mountainous landscape is partly obscured by rain and mist. \r\n","physicalDescription":"A watercolour showing part of the house to the right of the sheet, with a chimney and part of a roof, and, to the left of the composition, mountains seen through rain and mist.
