Size: 14.75 x 10.75 inches (including mounting: 17.5 (height) x 14.25 (width))

Description: This charming, intimate watercolor by Tony Herbert captures a woman sketching peacefully on the shingle beach at Aldeburgh, one of Suffolk’s most iconic coastal towns. Seated in a folding chair with sketchpad in hand and a satchel at her feet, she appears deeply absorbed in her subject — perhaps the very same fishing boats and rooftops depicted in the background.
The scene unfolds against a recognisable Aldeburgh setting: whitewashed houses with terracotta chimneys, beached boats, and the warm tones of the shingle shore. Herbert’s light but confident touch suggests the sunlit tranquillity of a coastal afternoon, while the figure’s relaxed posture and practical clothing ground the scene in modern, lived-in reality.
As both a painter and a former illustrator, Herbert was acutely observant of people in their environment. Here, the subject’s absorbed creativity mirrors Herbert’s own, lending the painting a subtle meta-narrative. Whether read as a scene of leisure, portrait of an artist at work, or celebration of Aldeburgh’s enduring appeal to creatives, this work resonates with warmth and place.
Collectors seeking “Aldeburgh painting,” “woman sketching seaside,” or “Suffolk beach artist watercolor” will appreciate the mix of figurative interest and specific location. This painting would make an ideal gift for a fellow artist, coastal resident, or anyone with fond memories of Suffolk’s shores.
