About the Item

Title: Staithes Harbour Boats with Cliff and Seaside Cottages Yorkshire Watercolour By Tony Herbert (1927-2024) Medium: Watercolor on paper, unframed Size: 10.75 inches (height) x 14.25 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 balanced harbour scene by Tony Herbert (1927–2024), capturing the quiet charm of Staithes — a much-loved village on the North Yorkshire coast. Signed on the lower right and titled on the reverse, the work presents a calm view of the inlet at low tide, with two moored boats in the foreground and a row of cottages nestled beneath the looming cliff. Staithes is one of the UK’s most picturesque fishing villages, its natural harbour long favoured by artists, including members of the Staithes Group in the early 20th century. Herbert’s interpretation brings a modern clarity to the scene: crisp contrasts, muted tonal washes, and expertly observed light. The dramatic cliff on the left provides a rugged backdrop, while the still water and soft palette evoke a moment of quietude on a clear day. This piece would appeal to collectors of Yorkshire coastal views, British marine art, and traditional harbour scenes. It’s ideal for interiors that celebrate the coast, storytelling landscapes, or simply seek a sense of tranquil place.
