About the Item

Title: Southwold York Road Scene with Red Brick Terraces Trees and Puddles Watercolour By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Annotated verso: “Southwold 93 / Sunday Morning (York Rd?)”) 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 expressive watercolour by Tony Herbert (1927–2024) captures a grey Sunday morning on York Road in Southwold, Suffolk — a quiet residential street characterised by rows of handsome red-brick terraced houses. Bare winter trees frame the composition, casting long shadows over parked cars and a damp road surface scattered with puddles. The atmospheric sky is rendered in layered washes of grey and mauve, evoking the moody stillness of coastal England outside the tourist season. Handwritten notes on the reverse of the paper read “Southwold 93 / Sunday Morning (York Rd?)”, confirming both the location and the reflective mood of the piece. With his usual economy of brushstroke, Herbert captures the bones of the buildings and trees with clarity and restraint, leaving just enough detail to suggest life beyond the frame. Southwold has long been a favourite of British artists due to its mix of seaside charm and architectural character. York Road lies just behind the town centre and is notable for its uniform Edwardian homes and quiet community feel — both elements which Herbert distils perfectly here. Ideal for collectors of East Anglian scenes or British street paintings, this is a fine example of Herbert’s mature style: a blend of on-location observation and expressive simplification, offering a glimpse into a fleeting, familiar moment in a well-loved coastal town.

Provenance: From a large collection of this artists work, held in England.

The town hall, bathed in soft sunlight, stands proudly with its clock tower and arched windows, exuding a sense of timeless charm and importance in the community. The light facade contrasts beautifully against the darker tones of surrounding buildings, drawing the viewer’s eye upwards. The street itself is lined with buildings in muted colors, their facades showing signs of age and character, with textured brushstrokes suggesting a blend of plaster, stone, and weathered shutters. Shadows play across the road, adding depth and leading the viewer's gaze towards the focal point of the town hall. A few subtle figures...
