Title: Kingston London Rooftop View with Church Tower 1979 Original Watercolour
By Tony Herbert (1927-2024)
Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed
Size: 15 inches (height) x 11.75 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 expressive watercolour captures a striking view over the rooftops of Kingston upon Thames, a historic riverside town in southwest London. The composition is anchored by the soaring red-brick spire of St Luke’s Church, its clock face clearly visible as it rises above the surrounding chimney pots and terraced houses. The architecture feels quintessentially Victorian, with a warm palette of ochres, reds, and greys giving character to each building.
The artist’s perspective is taken from an elevated rear viewpoint, looking out across a patchwork of tiled roofs, garden fences, and trees towards the distant skyline. Painted in October 1979, the scene exudes an early autumnal atmosphere—cool greys and warm browns evoke overcast skies and a crispness in the air, while the inclusion of washing lines and the corner of a greenhouse adds charming domestic detail.
The brushwork is loose but deliberate, capturing the density of London’s residential sprawl without losing the individuality of each structure. Trees and gardens are rendered with fluid, confident marks, offering a soft contrast to the linear architecture. This painting is not only a portrait of Kingston’s built environment but also a document of changing urban life—recording a perspective likely shaped by personal familiarity with the neighbourhood.
