About the Item

Title: Estuary View with Boats and Hills Distant View of Cardigan from St Dogmaels By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed Size: 10.25 inches (height) x 15.25 inches (width) Condition: good, with some signs on wear consistent with aging Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: This signed watercolour by British artist Tony Herbert presents a broad estuary scene with a panoramic view of Cardigan, seen from across the River Teifi at St Dogmaels, Wales. The composition is dominated by rippling tidal flats in the foreground, with deep shadowed areas contrasting the reflective pools of water left by the receding tide. In the distance, the hillside town of Cardigan rises in soft layers — its rooftops and clustered buildings nestled between tree-covered slopes. Herbert captures the atmosphere with his characteristic control of light and tonal contrast, blending loose brushstrokes in the trees with finer architectural suggestions across the riverbank. The inscription on the reverse, “St Dogmaels Pt Cardigan,” identifies the viewpoint and connects the work to the surrounding region explored in several of Herbert’s paintings from the 1970s and 1980s. Cardigan is a historic market town and former port, once central to Welsh trade and culture, and still beloved for its castle, old bridge, and arts scene. Views from St Dogmaels — a quieter village directly across the river — offer a peaceful counterpoint and a more pastoral perspective on this estuarial setting. Collectors interested in Welsh coastal and river scenes, especially those with local ties, will find this work particularly appealing. A strong composition with regional significance, signed and sensitively executed.
