About the Item

Title: Borough Farm Fair Scene with Market Stalls and Trees Watercolour Painting By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Signed: Lower right Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed Size: 9.75 inches (height) x 13.75 inches (width) Condition: good, will some signs on wear consistent with aging Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: This lively watercolour painting by British artist Tony Herbert (1927–2024) captures a bustling local fair at Borough Farm, where market stalls are nestled under tall trees and colourful awnings dot the landscape. The piece is filled with the charm of community gatherings—people browsing tables, chatting under canopies, and mingling in a relaxed countryside setting. The soft palette and diffused light evoke a warm, late-summer atmosphere, while the artist’s fluid brushwork gives the scene an immediate, lived-in quality. Borough Farm is a rural area located on the edge of several village commons in the south of England. Events like the one depicted here are typical of village life—featuring local produce, secondhand goods, and handmade crafts, often accompanied by live music or family games. This painting offers a nostalgic glimpse into such traditional English gatherings, making it an appealing piece for collectors interested in British culture, pastoral scenes, or social history. Tony Herbert’s work frequently celebrates these quiet, human moments within landscapes—his deft use of watercolour rendering movement and memory in equal measure.
