About the Item

Title: Evening Coastal View Near Nefyn North Wales 1976 Watercolour Seascape By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on board, unframed Size: 10.25 inches (height) x 14 inches (width) Condition: good, with some signs on wear consistent with aging Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work, Oxford, England Description: This evocative 1976 watercolour by British artist Tony Herbert depicts a quiet coastal inlet near Nefyn, a small seaside town on the Llŷn Peninsula in North Wales. Known for its dramatic cliffs and rugged beauty, the coastline around Nefyn has long attracted artists, walkers, and nature-lovers for its windswept isolation and vast, unspoiled horizons. This evening view captures the fading light as it slips behind dark rock formations and pools of water, with hints of golden glow just catching the horizon line. Herbert’s palette here is especially muted — a study in greys, olive greens, and soft violets — giving the entire piece a contemplative, almost haunting quality. The loose, expressive brushwork along the cliffs contrasts gently with the smoothness of the calm water, dotted with delicate indications of seaweed, stones, and tidal pools. Though unsigned, the reverse of the painting is inscribed “Evening Nr. Nefyn N. Wales 76,” offering both a location and date — marking it as part of Herbert’s mid-1970s travels across the Welsh coast. Collectors of atmospheric landscapes or scenes of the Llŷn Peninsula will find this a particularly striking and meditative piece, resonant with mood and memory. A beautiful example of Herbert’s understated mastery of light and place.
