Title: Evening High Street Scene with Shoppers and Lit Windows British Watercolour
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Signed: Bottom right
Medium: Watercolor on paper, mounted
Size: 14.25 inches (height) x 17.25 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 evocative watercolour captures the quiet charm of a British high street at dusk, with figures strolling beneath warmly lit shopfronts. Glowing windows spill light across the pavement as silhouetted shoppers wander through the cool tones of twilight. Painted in Tony Herbert’s signature loose, impressionistic style, the scene hums with understated life — a meeting of stillness and motion, solitude and community.
The architectural setting is archetypically British: terraced buildings, softly glowing interiors, and a lamppost standing sentinel in the foreground. There’s a narrative openness to the piece — are these figures heading home, meeting friends, browsing for last-minute gifts? Herbert leaves it to the viewer’s imagination, inviting emotional connection through gesture and tone rather than detail.
Evening street scenes like this one hold timeless appeal, especially among collectors of British postwar urban life. They reflect not just place, but mood — that subtle shift when the day turns to night, and the glow of shopfronts becomes a beacon of activity in the dark.
Ideal for interiors seeking atmosphere and a sense of story, this painting would suit living rooms, entryways, studies, or dining areas — anywhere a viewer might pause and be drawn into its soft drama. A striking addition to a gallery wall or an anchor piece for collectors of urban and figurative work.

by Anthony Avery (British 1946-2023)

Provenance: From a large collection of this artists work, held in England.
Description: This watercolor painting captures the essence of a quaint village street, gently sloping towards a central square dominated by a stately town hall.

The street itself is lined with buildings in muted colors, their facades showing signs of age and character, with textured brushstrokes suggesting a blend of plaster, stone, and weathered shutters. Shadows play across the road, adding depth and leading the viewer's gaze towards the focal point of the town hall. A few subtle figures...
