About the Item

Title: Parisian Street Café Scene with Diners and Trees Original City Watercolour By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Signed: Bottom right Medium: Watercolor on paper, mounted Size: 14 inches (height) x 17 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 charming and bustling watercolour street scene capturing the unmistakable atmosphere of a Parisian café. The composition centres on a row of elegant bistro tables outside the Brasserie Écritoire, where a group of locals and tourists sit chatting, dining, and people-watching beneath dappled tree shade. A tall cast-iron lamppost bisects the scene, adding rhythm and symmetry to the composition, while Parisian windows and cream façades form a soft architectural backdrop. Painted in delicate washes and confident brushstrokes, the piece captures the spirit of a warm afternoon in the French capital. Tony Herbert (1927–2024) often painted city life with warmth and immediacy, and here his eye for gesture, light, and narrative is on full display. His watercolour technique — loose yet evocative — allows the viewer to feel the hum of conversation and the clink of cutlery on pavement tables. From the figures deep in conversation to the woman walking past in the foreground, every detail breathes with urban life. The Brasserie Écritoire is a real and much-loved literary café in Paris, frequented by writers and creatives. Whether you know the location or simply feel drawn to the charm of French café culture, this painting is perfect for lovers of Paris, architecture, or the golden age of European travel. A beautiful decorative piece, it would sit well in living rooms, kitchens, reading nooks, or hallways where elegance meets nostalgia.
