About the Item

Title: Robin Hoods Bay Clifftop View with Sea and Rocks Yorkshire Coast 1983 By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed Size: 9.75 inches (height) x 11.25 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: An atmospheric coastal watercolour by Tony Herbert (1927–2024), capturing the dramatic beauty of Robin Hood’s Bay on the Yorkshire coast. Dated 1983 on the reverse, this piece shows the view from the clifftop, with golden cottages perched above the shoreline and the curving headland stretching into the distance. The water shimmers with soft washes of blue and green, while the rocky foreshore is rendered with earthy browns and dark linear detail, hinting at the textures of seaweed and pebbles. Robin Hood’s Bay is a small fishing village known for its steep cobbled streets and striking location between Whitby and Scarborough. Long associated with smuggling lore and fossil hunting, the bay is a favourite of walkers on the Cleveland Way and artists drawn to its unspoiled charm. Herbert’s treatment here avoids nostalgia in favour of immediacy — the fresh, painterly strokes evoke a moment of calm observation by the sea, perhaps on a late summer morning. This work would appeal to collectors of coastal British landscapes, particularly those with a connection to Yorkshire or an appreciation for heritage seaside villages. Its balance of detail and atmosphere makes it ideal for a cottage, study, or contemporary interior seeking a touch of coastal storytelling.
