About the Item

Title: Seaside Promenade with Deckchairs Summer Crowd and Ocean View Watercolour Painting By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Signed: Lower right Medium: Watercolor on artists paper Size: 11 x 15 inches Condition: Good overall; light edge wear to paper corners and slight foxing in lower right, otherwise well preserved Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: This joyful watercolour by British artist Tony Herbert (1927–2024) captures the quintessential charm of a British seaside promenade, likely painted on location at a resort town such as Lyme Regis, Tenby, or perhaps Eastbourne. The focus is a relaxed couple enjoying the sunshine from striped deckchairs, their body language suggesting quiet ease as they look out to sea or read. Around them, sunbathers, walkers, and families stroll along the esplanade beneath a clear summer sky. The painting is a masterclass in composition: bold verticals of railings and lampposts contrast with the swooping diagonals of reclining chairs, while a strip of calm sea and distant hills balance the bustling town and figures on the left. Herbert's palette of warm ochres, soft pinks, and cooling sea blues captures both the brightness and the nostalgia of British beach holidays. Although undated on the verso, the clothing and atmosphere suggest a 1980s–1990s timeframe — consistent with Herbert’s mature work, when he focused increasingly on capturing moments of leisure and coastal life. This piece would appeal to collectors of figurative British seaside art or anyone with fond memories of sun-warmed promenade benches and the rhythmic crash of waves nearby. A timeless celebration of summer, light, and human connection, painted with characteristic sensitivity and charm.
