Title: Venice Market Scene With Figures and Canopies Original Watercolour Painting
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Signed: Bottom right corner
Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed
Size: 15 inches (height) x 11.5 inches (width)
Condition: good, will some signs on wear consistent with aging
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England
Description: This expressive watercolour painting captures the energy and rhythm of a Venetian street market, where colour, light, and people converge under swathes of fabric canopies. Dominated by a bold sweep of red overhead, the composition draws the eye inward to a flurry of figures — vendors at their stalls, locals browsing, and a woman walking purposefully in the foreground, shopping bags in hand.
The architectural hints in the background — shuttered windows, textured walls, and the glow of morning light — root the scene unmistakably in Venice. Yet the true subject is the interplay of movement and shadow: the pavement glistens with a cool wash of purple and grey, while warm ochres and siennas animate the market tables. The figures are painted loosely but with careful suggestion, their presence adding narrative and humanity without overt detail.
The angled composition and use of diagonals — from the red awning to the slant of the stalls — create a dynamic sense of depth and motion. The artist invites the viewer not only to observe but to feel the bustling intimacy of the market: the chatter, the scent of fresh produce, the rhythm of a daily ritual.
Perfect for collectors of travel-inspired artwork or those drawn to lively, people-focused street scenes, this original painting is a wonderful example of expressive plein-air watercolour technique.
