Description: This atmospheric watercolour by Tony Herbert (1927–2024) captures a peaceful moment in the Jardin du Luxembourg, one of Paris’s most beloved public gardens. At the heart of the composition is a cart of classic toy sailing boats — a familiar and nostalgic sight to generations of Parisian children — ready to be launched across the surface of the ornamental pond nearby.
Two figures, likely a parent and child, are depicted on the right, engaging with the boats or simply enjoying the water's edge. Their casual posture invites the viewer to share in the serenity and simplicity of the moment. Behind them, tall trees form a soft, misty canopy, with hints of historic Parisian architecture — likely the Palais du Luxembourg — visible through the foliage.
Herbert’s mastery of light and space is evident in the way the scene is grounded in tonal contrast, yet kept airy with delicately controlled washes. The composition feels timeless — not only for its subject matter but for the way it captures a universal rhythm of quiet leisure, reflection, and familial connection.
This painting would make a meaningful gift for lovers of Paris, those drawn to vintage travel imagery, or anyone who appreciates the poetry of everyday life. It evokes not just a place, but a feeling — gentle, thoughtful, and filled with charm.

Le Jardin du Luxembourg
By Marie-Anne Nivoulies de Pierrefort
Located in London, GB
'Le Jardin du Luxembourg', oil on canvas, by Marie de Nivouliès de Pierrefort (circa 1910). Parisians are not equivocal about their park preferences. Some clearly favour the Tuileries, while others stand firmly with feet planted in the Jardin du Luxembourg. Perhaps this is analogous to residents' strongly-held preferences for either the Café Deux Magots or the Café de Flore, just down the Boulevard Saint-Germain. Back to the gardens though, I have always been captivated by the Luxembourg Gardens. It's the lawns, tree-lined promenades, tennis courts, flowerbeds, model sailboats on its octagonal Grand Bassin, as well as the picturesque Medici Fountain...
