Description: Painted in March 1995, this lyrical riverside watercolour by British artist Tony Herbert (1927–2024) captures the character of Walberswick, a small village on the Suffolk coast known for its estuarine views and traditional fishing community. The scene looks across the water toward a line of dark, weathered huts and sheds, dotted with moored boats and quiet industry. A red flag on one mast provides a vivid focal point against the muted sky, while a white dinghy sits in the shallow foreground near the bank.
Walberswick has long been associated with artists — from Philip Wilson Steer to the early 20th-century plein air painters of the Camden Town Group. Herbert’s interpretation continues that tradition, favouring gestural brushwork and naturalistic tones to capture the place’s quiet rhythm and working past.
This piece is signed lower left and inscribed on the verso “Walberswick March 95”, affirming its place within Herbert’s mature output. Grassy scrub and tidal marks on the bank lead the viewer into the scene, with an expansive sky above suggesting the shifting coastal weather so typical of Suffolk.
Collectors of East Anglian landscapes or British coastal watercolours will appreciate this painting’s sense of place and the restrained yet expressive way Herbert has depicted it.
