About the Item

Title: Canal Scene with Lock and Boathouse Windsor Watercolour with Autumn Light By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed Size: 12.25 inches (height) x 13 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 delicate watercolour painting by Anthony (Tony) Herbert (1927–2024) captures the peaceful charm of Boveney Lock in Windsor, a picturesque part of the River Thames often admired for its rich history and tranquil surroundings. Painted in August 1995, the work showcases a traditional canal boat moored by the lock gates, with autumnal trees and classic red-brick riverside cottages beyond. The composition gently leads the eye from the calm, reflective waters to the open sky, rendered in soft washes of gold and grey. Boveney Lock is located near Windsor and Eton, making it a popular spot for walkers, boaters, and painters alike. Historically, this stretch of the Thames has inspired artists for generations, and Herbert’s interpretation honours that tradition while introducing his signature observational calm. The presence of a lone canal boat adds narrative interest, hinting at quiet travel or life on the river. Tony Herbert’s command of light and tone is evident in the way he renders the gentle ripples on the water and the softened outlines of distant trees. The use of muted colours reflects both the stillness of the setting and the slightly overcast weather, lending the work a contemplative quality.
