About the Item

Title: Coastal Fishing Huts with Nets and Harbour Debris Watercolour Landscape By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on artists paper Size: 9.5 x 13.75 inches Condition: Good overall; light edge wear to paper corners and slight foxing in lower right, otherwise well preserved Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: A vibrant and atmospheric study by Tony Herbert, this original mid-century watercolour depicts a weathered stretch of British fishing huts, likely along the East Anglian or Suffolk coast, where Herbert painted extensively in the 1990s. The foreground is scattered with the textures of working life: coiled green fishing nets, bright red crates, buoys, barrels and industrial buckets strewn across the sand. Timber outbuildings and black-painted coastal sheds crowd the middle ground, silhouetted against the soft outline of terraced buildings and a sky in mottled shades of indigo and storm-washed grey. Herbert’s brushwork is loose yet sharply observational. With bold contrasts of burnt umber, indigo and cadmium red, he conjures the raw, utilitarian charm of a working fishing harbour. The quick washes and gestural lines are characteristic of his plein-air method, revealing a painter deeply in tune with the everyday rhythms of coastal industry. This piece is especially appealing to collectors interested in maritime art, East Coast harbour scenes, and British fishing heritage. Tony Herbert (1927–2024) built a decades-long reputation as a British watercolourist with a keen eye for the overlooked: rural buildings, harbours, and small-town vignettes. His work resonates with those seeking art that reflects a connection to place and history. This piece would suit interior styles ranging from rustic coastal to vintage nautical, and would sit beautifully alongside works by Edward Seago or Rowland Hilder. An evocative snapshot of post-industrial coastal life — and a richly textured piece of British maritime painting.
