Title: Cafe Scene in Italian Piazza With Yellow Striped Awning and Diners
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed
Size: 11 inches (height) x 15 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 charming original watercolour captures a relaxed café scene in what appears to be an Italian piazza, bathed in warm Mediterranean light. The composition centres around a vibrant yellow-striped canopy that stretches overhead, casting soft dappled shadows on the figures below. The artist, Tony Herbert (1927–2024), skilfully renders a convivial group of locals and tourists seated at outdoor tables, chatting and sipping drinks under the mid-morning sun. The figures are loosely but expressively painted, with particular attention given to posture and gesture, conveying a natural, observational intimacy.
In the background, sun-bleached stucco buildings with shuttered windows and red-tiled roofs evoke the architectural character of a traditional southern European town. The warm palette, rich in ochres and siennas, enhances the feeling of summer heat and social ease. The use of transparent washes, soft edges, and bright negative space shows Herbert’s confident control of watercolour and his ability to evoke atmosphere with minimal detail.
This piece would appeal to collectors of continental European scenes, travel-inspired art, or works celebrating everyday human moments. Its evocative light and composition make it ideal for display in kitchens, dining rooms, or hospitality spaces seeking a lively, timeless touch.
