About the Item

Title: River Thames Landscape at Cookham with Boats and Trees Under Summer Sky 1976 By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on board, unframed Size: 10.75 inches (height) x 13.5 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 original 1976 watercolour painting by British artist Tony Herbert (1927–2024) captures a peaceful riverside scene at Cookham, a historic village in Berkshire, England, known for its literary and artistic connections. The painting presents a wide, sunlit stretch of the River Thames, with a gentle summer haze softening the view of moored boats, brick houses, and mature trees along the opposite bank. Lush greenery fills the left side of the composition, while reeds in the foreground and distant ripples lend texture and movement to the water. The sky, painted in soft greys and gentle blues, dominates the upper half of the piece and contrasts beautifully with the detailed shoreline and warm, reddish tones of the buildings nestled among trees. This balance between atmosphere and architectural specificity reflects Herbert’s ability to evoke mood while maintaining clarity of place. Cookham is perhaps most famously associated with the artist Sir Stanley Spencer, whose visionary work depicted the village throughout his life. This painting shares a similar sense of rootedness in place, portraying a moment of stillness that is deeply tied to its local character. The Thames itself, with its long history as a muse for British artists, writers, and poets, flows through this composition not just as a subject but as an emotional anchor.
