Title: Seated Man Sketch With Coffee Cups In Monochrome Ink And Wash
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)

Size: 13.75 inches (height) x 11 inches (width)

Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England
Description: This expressive ink and wash sketch by Tony Herbert (1927–2024) presents a quiet, observational study of a man seated at a table, viewed from behind. Captured in a moment of deep concentration, the figure leans forward with hunched shoulders, his attention fixed on an unseen task. The sketch is rich in character, from the precise contour of his glasses and the curl of his collar, to the fluid lines used to define his posture and clothing folds. A pair of mugs sits on a tray to the right, subtly grounding the figure in a lived environment — perhaps a studio, café, or workshop.
Herbert uses a restrained monochrome palette with confident linework, gestural brushstrokes, and layered ink washes to build form and atmosphere. The figure emerges from the paper with a sense of immediacy and life, suggesting a spontaneous moment captured during everyday activity. The loose, unfinished quality of the background allows the viewer’s focus to remain on the subject’s form and presence, while the tonal shading adds warmth and depth.
This drawing would appeal to collectors of figurative sketches, mid-century British art, or those with an interest in character studies and the art of observation. It evokes the intimacy and honesty of life drawing, offering insight into Herbert’s sensitive and attentive approach to his subjects.
