About the Item

Title: Southwold Harbour Fish Market Scene with Figures and Sheds Original Watercolour By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Signed: Bottom right Medium: Watercolor on paper, mounted Size: 16 inches (height) x 19 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: A vibrant and characterful mid-sized watercolour capturing the lively bustle of Southwold Harbour, a much-loved fishing port on the Suffolk coast. The scene shows a group of people gathering near wooden fish sheds, signs advertising “Wet Fish for Sale,” and the vivid suggestion of a coastal breeze in the loosely rendered figures and fluttering fencing. A red car is parked to the left, anchoring the foreground, while the buildings and fishing gear in the background evoke the town’s long history of seaside trade. Southwold is a charming seaside town in East Suffolk, known for its distinctive black fishing huts, fresh seafood stalls, and the scenic River Blyth that flows into the North Sea. The harbour area has long inspired artists for its working charm and nostalgic atmosphere. This painting captures not just a location but a moment — the exchange between locals and fishermen, under a pale sky washed with coastal light. Painted by Tony Herbert, whose legacy lies in capturing everyday beauty with warmth and immediacy, this piece exemplifies his love of British landscapes and life scenes. Whether hung in a kitchen, hallway, or coastal property, it brings with it a sense of place, memory, and the quiet rhythm of community life by the sea.
