Title: 1991 Watercolour of Sidmouth East Devon with Cliffs, Sea and Coastal Townscape
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Medium: Watercolor on artists paper
Size: 11.25 x 15 inches
Annotated Verso: “Sidmouth 91”
Condition: very good; subtle foxing and natural edge wear consistent with age
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England
Description: This striking 1991 watercolour by Tony Herbert captures the distinct coastal character of Sidmouth, a historic seaside town in East Devon known for its dramatic red sandstone cliffs, sweeping bay, and elegant Georgian architecture. The painting is part of Herbert’s later body of work and showcases his ability to balance mood, light, and landscape with subtlety and skill.
In the foreground, wooden groynes cut across the tide line, guiding the viewer’s gaze toward the rhythmic waves washing into shore. The beach gently curves past rows of Victorian buildings, before culminating in the rich red cliffs of Salcombe Hill, painted in vibrant rust and terracotta tones. The muted sky suggests a day of shifting weather — a common and beloved quality of Britain’s southern coast.
Sidmouth forms part of the Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site, making it a favourite subject for landscape artists and collectors interested in Britain’s geological and cultural heritage. Herbert’s rendition is particularly engaging for its harmonious palette and faithful depiction of the town’s natural geography.
Tony Herbert (1927–2024) spent the latter part of his life documenting the towns and landscapes of southern England in expressive watercolour. His views of Devon’s south coast — especially lesser-seen or quietly observed angles — are increasingly sought-after.
A beautiful example of Herbert’s mature work, ideal for collectors of Jurassic Coast art, Devon seascapes, or those with a connection to Sidmouth or East Devon.
