About the Item

Title: Henley Boathouses with Walkers and River Boats Original Thames Watercolour By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on paper, mounted Size: 15.25 inches (height) x 14.75 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: A beautifully observed riverside scene capturing the iconic rowing boathouses of Henley-on-Thames, one of England’s most picturesque and culturally significant stretches of the River Thames. Painted with Tony Herbert’s signature loose impressionistic style, the scene features a string of traditional wooden boathouses across the water, their gabled roofs and painted facades reflecting gently on the calm river. In the foreground, a group of figures — likely locals or visitors — walk beside narrowboats and pleasure cruisers moored along the riverbank, giving the piece a relaxed, summery atmosphere. Henley is world-renowned for its annual Royal Regatta and long-standing association with British rowing. The architecture of the private boathouses — many of them belonging to prestigious clubs or families — is instantly recognisable, making this painting particularly appealing to collectors with a love of sport, heritage, or English river culture. Herbert’s light touch with colour and his keen observational eye combine to create a moment full of life and stillness. The use of soft greens, reds, and blues gives the piece both balance and vibrancy, while his rendering of the figures lends a casual energy to the peaceful setting. Ideal for lovers of the Thames, boating culture, or British landscape painting, this watercolour would sit beautifully in hallways, studies, guest bedrooms, or any setting that calls for elegance, charm, and a connection to England’s storied riverside towns.
