About the Item

Title: Walberswick Black Sheds and Fishing Nets Suffolk Coast Landscape 1996 By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Inscribed verso in pencil “Walberswick ‘96 July” Medium: Watercolor on artists paper Size: 11 x 15 inches Condition: Good overall; minor corner wear and subtle warping to paper edge Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: This expressive watercolor by Tony Herbert captures the distinctive black sheds and open marshland of Walberswick, painted on location in July 1996. The composition shows a cluster of weatherboarded fishermen’s huts — a signature feature of this Suffolk coastal village — standing tall against the flat landscape, with traces of orange lobster pots and green netting in the foreground. To the left, Herbert hints at the River Blyth, its still surface barely separating the saltmarsh from the horizon. Walberswick, long celebrated for its atmospheric light and artistic history, is brought to life through Herbert’s deft handling of texture and contrast. Pale washes of summer sky are offset by the deep blacks and umbers of the timbered buildings, rendered with loose yet deliberate brushstrokes. Shadows cast across grassy tracks and dusty sandbanks offer a sense of time and weather, with mast lines suggesting unseen moored boats beyond the picture’s edge. Ideal for collectors searching for “Walberswick painting,” “black shed Suffolk artwork,” or “British coastal fishing village watercolor,” this piece captures not only the physical form of the East Anglian coast, but also its working identity — quiet, enduring, and elemental. It stands as both a record of place and a painter’s personal response to it. This work would suit both modern coastal interiors and collectors of traditional British plein air painting, particularly those with connections to the Suffolk coast or East Anglian art heritage.
