About the Item

Title: Robin Hoods Bay Rooftop View Looking Out to Sea Yorkshire Coast 1983 By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed Size: 8.5 inches (height) x 11 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 striking coastal composition by British artist Tony Herbert (1927–2024) offers a sunlit view over the rooftops of Robin Hood’s Bay, looking out to the glinting expanse of the North Sea. Dated 1983, the work captures the layered charm of the historic Yorkshire village, with its cluster of whitewashed and red-tiled cottages tumbling toward the water’s edge. The road curves through the middle ground, leading the eye through sunlit greens toward the houses, chimneys, and sky. Robin Hood’s Bay is a place steeped in history — once a smuggler’s haven and now a favourite of fossil hunters, walkers, and painters alike. Herbert’s approach is characteristically light and economical, favouring suggestion over detail. His skilful control of tone and colour — from the sandy track and burnt orange roofs to the slate sea and pale sky — creates a scene that feels both intimate and expansive. Perfect for collectors of Yorkshire coastal scenes, British village views, or nostalgic British watercolours, this painting would sit beautifully in a relaxed interior, coastal home, or collection celebrating vernacular British life and landscape.
