About the Item

Title: Venice Street Scene With Figures Market Stalls Tower Original Watercolour Painting By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Signed: Bottom right corner Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed Size: 15.25 inches (height) x 11.25 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 vibrant watercolour painting captures a bustling Venetian street, animated by the movement of figures, the texture of cobblestones, and the soft wash of late afternoon light. Rendered in loose yet confident strokes, the composition draws the viewer into the scene with a gently sloping path flanked by market stalls, buildings, and an iconic Venetian bell tower in the distance. The artist has masterfully balanced warm and cool tones: earthy siennas and terracottas define the traditional façades, while deep shadows and soft greys evoke the cool stone underfoot. A green canopy stretches across the street to the left, sheltering a vibrant flower stall and contributing a bold pop of colour. Yellow blossoms and window reflections on the right create warmth and a sense of daily life unfolding. Figures stroll along the cobbled street, some pausing to talk or shop, others walking with intent. The brushwork is suggestive rather than detailed, giving the viewer just enough to feel immersed without being distracted by fine realism. The perspective converges at the tall bell tower in the background, providing a strong focal point and a sense of place within Venice’s unique cityscape. This original work is ideal for lovers of Italian architecture, travel art, or expressive watercolours that evoke atmosphere and movement. It offers a snapshot of Venetian life beyond the postcards—more personal, more painterly, and full of charm.

Venice Backwater, Painting, Watercolor on Watercolor Paper
By Daniel Clarke
Located in Yardley, PA
I looked out from my window, and I saw Venice, my Venice, naked in the sun— Sad, faded, and unutterably forlorn!— But still unutterably beautiful. For days and days I wandered up and down— Holding my breath in awe and ecstasy,— Following my husband to familiar haunts, Making acquaintance with his well-loved friends, Whose faces I had only seen in dreams And books and photographs and his careless talk. For days and days—with sunny hours of rest And musing chat, in that cool room of ours, Paved with white marble, on the Grand Canal; For days and days—with happy nights between, Half-spent, while little Katie lay asleep Out on the balcony, with the moon and stars. O Venice, Venice!—with thy water-streets— Thy gardens bathed...
