About the Item
Title: Barfleur Normandy Harbour Scene With Fishing Nets 1988 Watercolour
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed
Size: 8.25 inches (height) x 12.25 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 tranquil watercolour captures a calm stretch of the River Thames, with its gentle reflections, houseboats, and riverside path. Though undated and unsigned on the front, the painterly style, subject, and medium are consistent with Tony Herbert’s body of work from the 1980s. The scene is almost certainly set in west London, likely in the Richmond or Twickenham area — the white arched bridge in the distance closely resembles Richmond Bridge, while the gentle greenery and classical buildings evoke this stretch of the Thames.
At the centre of the painting, a vibrant green boat is moored on the water, its upright mast catching the eye. Next to it, a houseboat rendered in deep rust and ochre hues hugs the riverbank. The foreground is animated by a small group of figures on a golden stone pathway — their brushwork loose but evocative, lending life to an otherwise serene scene.
The palette is soft and natural: greens and browns in the foliage, slate blues in the water, and delicate violets and creams in the sky and distant buildings. The texture of the water is especially notable, with delicate layers of wash capturing the shimmering, almost oily movement of the river surface.
A beautifully observed and composed riverside view, this piece will appeal to lovers of the Thames, quiet landscape scenes, and the subtle atmosphere of English waterways.
