About the Item

Title: Robin Hoods Bay Headland and Shoreline Under Cloudy Sky Yorkshire 1983 By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed Size: 8.75 inches (height) x 11 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 brooding and atmospheric view of Robin Hood’s Bay by British painter Tony Herbert (1927–2024), dated 1983. This expressive watercolour captures the dramatic headland and low tide shoreline of one of Yorkshire’s most beloved coastal destinations. The palette is restrained and moody, dominated by greys, mossy greens, and soft mauves, giving the scene a sense of calm before or after a passing storm. A wide expanse of sky, filled with scudding clouds, takes up nearly half the composition — a hallmark of Herbert’s gift for balancing space and tone. Robin Hood’s Bay is a former fishing and smuggling village known for its steep descent to the sea and fossil-rich beaches. Herbert’s interpretation focuses on its natural landscape rather than its architecture, allowing the rugged textures of rock and surf to take centre stage. The brushwork is loose and layered, suggesting wet conditions and shifting light — possibly a fleeting moment captured en plein air. This work will appeal to collectors of British seascapes, North Yorkshire views, and expressive landscape watercolours. Ideal for interiors with a coastal or naturalistic design theme, the piece offers a raw and reflective view of England’s northeast coastline.
