Description: This evocative watercolour by Tony Herbert captures a timeless moment on the banks of the River Blyth in Walberswick, a much-loved village on the Suffolk coast. Titled "The Ferryman, Walberswick", the scene depicts a familiar stretch of open riverside with weathered black huts — a distinctive feature of the area — scattered across the landscape. At right, a seated figure, presumably the ferryman, rests beside his shed, while a couple strolls toward the river along a sunlit grassy path.
The composition is filled with space and light, creating a powerful sense of place. Walberswick is known for its artists, marshlands, and its historic rowing ferry that crosses to Southwold — a cherished local feature and subject of many painters over the years. Herbert’s treatment is gentle and honest, capturing the coastal quiet and the casual rhythms of daily life along the estuary.
Painted in soft earth tones and breezy washes, the work balances structural forms with looser natural textures — from the thatched grass underfoot to the shifting Suffolk sky above. The figures are understated but human, grounding the work in lived experience.
A perfect acquisition for collectors of East Anglian coastal art, British riverside scenes, or anyone with a fondness for Walberswick’s distinctive charm. This piece would display beautifully in a hallway, study, or countryside home, inviting reflection, nostalgia, and the steady pace of life by the water.
