About the Item

Title: British Impressionist Watercolor of a Harbour Scene with Boats and Figures by Anthony Avery (British 1946-2023) Original watercolor on artists paper, unframed Dimensions: 15.25 x 11.25 inches (Height x Width) Signed: Yes Condition: Good, with some minor signs of aging. Provenance: from a large collection of this artists work, held in England. Description: In this elegant harbour scene by British artist Anthony J. Avery, the tranquil beauty of a coastal town is rendered with a soft and contemplative touch. The piece captures a dockside view where sailboats, gently anchored, create reflections in the calm water. In the background, weathered buildings rise, their muted facades harmonizing with the cool tones of the sky and water, suggesting a serene, overcast day. Foreground details bring a lively contrast. A couple of trees offer soft foliage, and yellow umbrellas brighten the lower portion, casting warm highlights across the scene. Figures appear scattered along the shore, some seated under the umbrellas, while others walk along a path near the water, adding a human touch to the coastal tranquility. The interplay of light and shadow creates a pleasant ambiance, with Avery’s controlled brushwork and choice of palette adding a gentle realism to the composition. This watercolour reflects Avery’s skillful attention to composition, light, and atmosphere, capturing the subtle beauty and quiet life along the harbour.
