About the Item

Title: Southwold Harbour Fishing Boats and Jetty Coastal Watercolour Scene 1995 By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Inscribed: “Southwold Sept 95” Medium: Watercolor on artists paper Size: 11 x 15 inches Condition: very good; a clean and well-preserved work with no visible marks or damage Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: Painted on location in September 1995, this serene harbour scene by Tony Herbert captures the moored fishing boats and stilted jetty of Southwold, a much-loved coastal town in Suffolk, England. Long known for its historic lighthouse, working harbour, and beach huts, Southwold has inspired generations of British artists drawn to its distinct light and low-lying coastal architecture. In this original watercolour, Herbert uses delicate greys, mauves and olive greens to render the quiet dignity of a fishing boat tethered to the shoreline. The composition is softly atmospheric, with distant dark-roofed boat sheds and salt-weathered structures evoking the rhythms of local maritime life. The artist’s fine understanding of coastal tone and balance is evident in his use of negative space, letting the pale sky and water breathe through the piece. This painting will appeal to collectors interested in maritime art, British coastal landscapes, and particularly those with a connection to Southwold, Walberswick or the Suffolk coast. Herbert’s work — often compared to that of Edward Seago and Edward Wesson — captures not just a scene but a sensibility: calm, grounded, and deeply in tune with the passing of the seasons and the character of place. Whether displayed in a nautical-themed interior, a holiday home, or added to a curated collection of Modern British watercolours, this piece is both decorative and historically resonant. A gentle yet evocative tribute to England’s working harbours.
