About the Item

Title: Aldeburgh Fishing Boats Suffolk Coast Watercolor Landscape 1994 by Tony Herbert 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: Painted en plein air on the shingle beach of Aldeburgh, a much-loved seaside town on the Suffolk Coast and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this evocative 1994 watercolor captures the everyday maritime life that still defines the region. Tony Herbert sets two clinker-built fishing boats centre-stage against a soft, North Sea sky, their weather-bleached hulls resting on damp sand beside coils of rope, lobster pots and a lone red buoy. The distant silhouette of Aldeburgh’s fishermen’s huts and Martello tower anchors the composition in a recognisable East Anglian landscape, making the scene instantly appealing to collectors of British coastal art. Herbert’s trademark economical brushwork and mastery of the wet-in-wet technique allow him to suggest intricate rigging and shifting cloud cover with just a few deft strokes, while his muted palette of indigo, sienna and Payne’s grey conveys the cool, briny atmosphere of an early-autumn morning on the North Sea. As a former illustrator turned full-time landscape painter, Herbert brought an acute draughtsman’s eye to every composition; here, taut diagonal mooring lines draw the viewer into the scene, giving the composition a subtle dynamism. Original watercolors of Aldeburgh, Suffolk, by established British modernists remain in steady demand, prized both by local enthusiasts and by international buyers searching online for “Aldeburgh painting,” “Suffolk fishing boats artwork,” or “British coastal watercolor.” This sheet, dated September 1994, showcases the late-career confidence of an artist whose work has been exhibited from Dorset to East Anglia and collected worldwide.
