About the Item

Title: British Impressionist Watercolor of a Street Scene in Tossa de Mar, Costa Brava by Anthony Avery (British 1946-2023) Original watercolor on artists paper, unframed Dimensions: 15 x 11 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 evocative watercolor scene, Anthony J. Avery (1946-2023) captures the charm of Tossa de Mar, a historic town nestled on the Costa Brava. The narrow street, framed by rustic buildings with warm-toned stucco walls and quaint green shutters, draws the viewer’s eye toward a horse-drawn cart trotting through the sunlit alley. The textured walls, peeling paint, and vibrant splashes of flowering plants add depth and authenticity to the composition, immersing one in the timeless ambiance of the Mediterranean. The painting features Avery's characteristic attention to light and shadow, with sunlight filtering softly across the stone pathway and bathing the facades in a warm, golden glow. Laundry hanging from a line adds a touch of lived-in warmth to the otherwise tranquil street, while a soft haze of greenery suggests the lush surroundings of this coastal town. Avery's delicate brushwork brings out the subtle textures of the aging buildings, while his soft washes capture the gentle Mediterranean atmosphere. This piece is ideal for those who appreciate European street scenes, offering a slice of Spanish life in all its beauty and simplicity, making it a captivating addition to any collection.
