About the Item

Title: Harbour at Low Tide with Boats and Cliffs Fishguard Wales 1979 Watercolour By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on board, unframed Size: 10 inches (height) x 14 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 1979 watercolour by British artist Tony Herbert captures the coastal town of Fishguard in southwest Wales, a site known for its dramatic cliffs, tidal harbour, and maritime charm. A series of sailboats and dinghies are shown anchored at low tide, their masts rising against a backdrop of lush green hills and shadowed coves. Above the cliffs, a red-roofed cottage and line of windswept trees silhouette the ridge, adding a whimsical and human scale to the expansive landscape. Fishguard has long been a favourite among artists for its rich topography and changing light. Situated in Pembrokeshire, it's one of the last remaining working harbours of its kind, offering a quiet resilience that Herbert conveys beautifully through confident brushwork and naturalistic colour. The reflections on the water, the interplay of sun and shadow, and the layered forms of the landscape speak to the artist’s deep familiarity with coastal Britain. Works like this are highly desirable to collectors interested in Welsh coastal scenes, 20th-century marine painting, and plein-air watercolours. As a signed and inscribed piece from a key travel period in Herbert’s career, this painting is both location-specific and universally appealing — a lyrical record of time and place in the tradition of British landscape art.
