About the Item

Title: Sailboats at Low Tide with Grassy Shore Dell Quay Harbour Sussex near Chichester By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on board, unframed Size: 10.75 inches (height) x 14.75 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 serene watercolour by British artist Tony Herbert depicts Dell Quay Harbour, a historic coastal inlet near Chichester in West Sussex. Known for its quiet beauty and maritime heritage, Dell Quay sits along the Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty — a haven for sailors, artists, and birdwatchers alike. In this composition, a group of small boats sits calmly at low tide along the shallow estuary, with grassy wetlands in the foreground and soft clouds stretching across the open sky. Herbert’s composition draws the viewer into the quiet rhythm of the scene: masts reach skyward while reflections shimmer on the exposed mudflats. The painting balances earthy tones with bright pops of boat colour — including a vivid red hull — and is framed by a hazy tree line and distant low hills. The artist captures the unique light of the South Coast with his signature economy of line and atmosphere. Though unsigned, the reverse is inscribed in the artist’s hand: “Dell Quay X Sussex nr. Chichester.” As one of the oldest working harbours in the region, Dell Quay holds historical interest and remains popular among collectors of English coastal scenes. This piece is a fine example of Herbert’s work beyond Wales, showcasing his eye for harmony and detail across varied British landscapes.
