About the Item

Title: Caldon Canal with narrowboats footbridge and trees Staffordshire scene 1997 By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed Size: 11 inches (height) x 15 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 evocative watercolour by British artist Tony Herbert (1927–2024) captures a tranquil moment on the Caldon Canal, a lesser-known branch of the Trent and Mersey Canal in Staffordshire. Dated June 1997, the scene is suffused with soft light and muted greens, reflecting the peaceful charm of the English waterways. In the foreground, two moored narrowboats—one clad in dark canvas and the other painted a striking blue—anchor the composition, while a footbridge with wooden railings draws the eye into the background. Trees frame the canal path on either side, rendered in fluid washes of moss, olive, and charcoal tones. The water’s surface is delicately suggested in shadowy reflections beneath the bridge, enhancing the mood of stillness. The Caldon Canal is known for its winding course through rural Staffordshire, and Herbert’s handling of light and form perfectly evokes its quiet character. Pieces like this appeal to collectors drawn to canal history, narrowboats, and English rural life, and also offer a rich decorative appeal for interiors styled with a country or industrial heritage aesthetic.
