Title: Coloured Portrait Of Smiling Man In Flat Cap On Toned Paper
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Medium: Mixed media (pen, ink, and coloured marker/pencil) on toned paper, unframed
Size: 12.5 inches (height) x 10 inches (width)
Condition: good, Mild creasing and edge wear consistent with age
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England
Description: This vibrant and characterful portrait by Tony Herbert (1927–2024) presents a smiling older man rendered in mixed media on toned paper. Wearing a brown flat cap and a crisp white shirt with a deep red collar, the figure’s warmth and personality radiate from the page. The confident use of colour — especially the burnt sienna tones used to model the face — brings a lifelike quality to the subject, while the textured background enhances the sketch’s sense of depth and immediacy.
The artist has combined expressive linework with blocks of rich colour to capture not just the subject’s appearance but his attitude: cheerful, assured, and quietly observant. His grin and upturned brow suggest humour and warmth, inviting viewers to imagine a story behind the expression — perhaps a friend mid-conversation, or a familiar figure from a rural or market town setting.
Executed in a fluid, confident hand, this portrait demonstrates Herbert’s ability to move between media and styles while retaining a consistent emotional resonance. It draws on traditions of British portraiture but with a contemporary, sketch-like looseness that makes it equally at home in a modern interior.
Ideal for collectors of character studies, modern British art, or those drawn to expressive portraiture that captures the spirit as well as the form. A standout piece that would lend charm and interest to any wall or gallery display.
