Description: This tranquil watercolour by Tony Herbert (1927–2024) captures Southwold Harbour at low tide, painted in 1994. A fishing boat — its white hull punctuated with red buoys — rests beside a wooden jetty, partially grounded on the estuary shore. The flat, grey skies and muted water tones evoke the calm stillness of Suffolk’s coastal inlets, while weathered sheds and boatsheds line the far bank in a palette of soft browns and charcoal greys.
Southwold Harbour, set along the River Blyth, remains one of East Anglia’s most atmospheric working waterfronts. Its mix of maritime heritage, salt marshes and tidal flats has long made it a favourite among plein air painters and photographers alike. Herbert’s composition captures the character of the place with economy and elegance — from the tilted mast to the tangle of ropes and mooring posts along the water’s edge.
The painting is inscribed "Southwold Harbour 94" on the reverse, confirming its location and placing it among Herbert’s later works, where a more confident, gestural approach lends energy and immediacy to each brushstroke. This piece would appeal to collectors interested in traditional British harbours, estuary scenes, or Suffolk coastal life.
An evocative image of a boat at rest, steeped in atmosphere, this work demonstrates Herbert’s lifelong fascination with light, water, and the quiet stories of place.
