Anthony Avery
British Impressionist Watercolor of Swan Gliding by the Riverside

About the Item

Title: British Impressionist Watercolor of Swan Gliding by the Riverside By Anthony Avery (British 1946-2023) Original watercolor on artists paper, unframed Dimensions: 15.25 x 11.25 inches (Height x Width) Condition: Good, with some minor signs of aging. Provenance: From a large collection of this artists work, held in England. Description: This watercolor captures the quiet beauty of a riverside scene in early spring or late winter. The primary focus is a row of tall, leafless trees standing along the bank, their slender branches stretching upwards in delicate, wispy lines. The artist skillfully uses light and shadow, with hints of yellow and muted browns in the branches, suggesting the soft light of a calm, chilly day. The trees’ fine detailing contrasts beautifully against a misty backdrop, where a subtle gradient transitions from pale purple to soft blue, evoking a tranquil, overcast sky. In the foreground, the river mirrors the scene above, with the trees’ slender trunks and branches reflected in the still water. The artist uses gentle, almost transparent strokes to capture these reflections, enhancing the sense of calmness and stillness in the composition. Along the water’s edge, a gentle wash of green suggests fresh grass, adding a touch of color to the otherwise cool, muted palette. Adding a focal point to the scene, a single swan glides gracefully along the river, its silhouette delicately rendered with minimal strokes. This small yet significant detail enhances the peaceful ambiance, as the swan’s smooth movement contrasts with the sturdy, static trees. The painting’s delicate balance of color, texture, and composition creates a serene, contemplative mood, inviting the viewer to pause and appreciate the quiet beauty of nature’s reflections.
