About the Item

Title: Aldeburgh Boat Yard and Coastal Road Suffolk Landscape Watercolor 1997 By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on artists paper Size: 11.25 x 15 inches Condition: Good overall; minor corner wear and subtle warping to paper edge Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: This original watercolor by Tony Herbert captures a quiet, atmospheric view of Aldeburgh, a historic fishing town on the Suffolk coast. Dated April 1997, the composition looks inland from the boat yard towards the town’s cottages and houses, under a heavy, grey spring sky. Herbert’s restrained palette of slate blue, olive green, and russet brown evokes the moody charm of the East Anglian landscape on a blustery day, with the distinctive coastal light that has long attracted artists to this region. The scene features tarpaulin-covered boats, fencing, scrub vegetation and the curved road leading through the marshy edge of the town — familiar features to anyone who has visited Aldeburgh’s shoreline. A cluster of terracotta roofs and chimneys on the horizon marks the approach to the town centre, subtly anchoring the piece in place and time. Herbert’s deft use of layered washes and dry-brush detail creates a convincing sense of space and weather. Though unsigned, the verso pencil inscription and style are consistent with Herbert’s late-career work, and the subject matter — boats and British coastal towns — reflects one of his core interests as a painter. Collectors searching for “Aldeburgh painting,” “Suffolk boatyard landscape,” or “British coastal watercolor” will find this an authentic, atmospheric piece that evokes a specific and beloved stretch of English coastline. It makes an ideal gift or interior accent for those with ties to East Anglia or a passion for maritime heritage.
