Atrex Potter
Born on 28 July 1866 in London, England to a middle-class family. One lucrative income came mainly from a cotton factory in Rankecia. My father was a lawyer who had barely ever been to court and spent most of his day in the club.
He loves photography and draws well, but he is a very rigid and a bit of a man of encouragement. Potter was the eldest daughter, her brother was six years younger than her, and she spent her teenage years largely alone and alone. She lived in this large house in London No. 2, Bolton Gardens, Kensington for forty-seven years, and the children's room on the fourth floor, whose windows were sealed with railings, was both her childhood playroom, classroom, and later studio. Recalling the house in her later years, she called it "my mother's house that I never felt loved."
Potter's main education comes from female tutors. She never went to school, and grew up studying reading, music, and art with a number of female tutors. Perhaps inheriting her father's genes, she has loved to draw since she was a child, and of course the most painted are the small animals she raises.
Because of their parents' overprotectiveness, the siblings had no friends, and together they raised a green frog, two lizards, several salamanders, a ring snake, a turtle and a rabbit.
She observed them enthusiastically, drawing sketches, and the anthropomorphic drawings of the animals dressed in clothes she had drawn when she was eight or nine years old were already quite vivid.
