About the Item

Title: Harbour Scene with Boats Figures and Whitewashed Cottages British Coast By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Signed: Bottom right Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed Size: 11 inches (height) x 16.5 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 lively and fluid harbour scene by Tony Herbert (1927–2024) captures the gentle bustle of a coastal day — boats moored in calm waters, figures strolling the quay, and a backdrop of whitewashed buildings nestled below a wooded hillside. Though the exact location is unspecified, the style and composition are consistent with Herbert’s depictions of Cornish, Devonshire, or southern English fishing villages. Executed in his signature soft washes and confident brushstrokes, the piece balances atmosphere and movement. The cluster of small boats in the foreground glimmer with delicate reflections, while the loosely suggested figures and buildings in the midground convey a warm, sunny afternoon. There is a sense of ease and community — a village alive with quiet energy but never overcrowded. Works like this are ideal for collectors of British coastal watercolours, marina and boating art, or impressionistic village scenes. The signed composition, light-filled palette, and observational charm make it especially suitable for framing in relaxed, coastal-inspired interiors or as a gift for those with a fondness for harbourside life.
