About the Item

Title: Southwold Harbour Fishing Boat Low Tide Estuary Scene with Sheds and Moorings By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Annotated verso: “Southwold March 95 River Blyth” 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: Painted in 1995, this striking watercolour by British artist Tony Herbert (1927–2024) depicts the River Blyth at Southwold, Suffolk — a view across the tidal flats toward a moored fishing vessel resting beside a series of wooden jetties. Rendered in a soft, atmospheric palette of greys, browns and mossy greens, the piece conveys a sense of calm and solitude typical of the East Anglian coast in late winter or early spring. The fishing boat, accented with red buoys and faint stripes, sits firmly in the centre of the composition, flanked by slender masts and loosely sketched rigging. In the far distance, a dark silhouette of a church tower rises above a low wooded horizon — possibly the Church of St Edmund, a Southwold landmark. Tony Herbert’s inscription on the reverse — “Southwold March 95 River Blyth” — confirms the location, which was a favourite of the artist. This stretch of river is known for its salt marshes, estuarine mudflats, and quiet industry, all of which are captured here with Herbert’s characteristic balance of precision and spontaneity. Ideal for collectors drawn to Suffolk scenes, British harbours, or maritime heritage, this piece is a meditative study of working boats at rest, painted with the quiet confidence of an artist who knew the rhythm of these places intimately.
