Medium: Watercolor on board, unframed
Size: 10.25 inches (height) x 15.25 inches (width)

Description: This expressive 1967 watercolour by British artist Tony Herbert depicts a stormy landscape near Laugharne, a historic estuary town in Carmarthenshire, South Wales. Famous as the home of poet Dylan Thomas, Laugharne is celebrated for its haunting marshlands, tidal views, and brooding coastal skies. Herbert captures the atmosphere with striking tonal contrasts, placing distant white cottages under a canopy of shifting grey cloud that dominates the horizon.
The marshy foreground, painted in a palette of olive, brown, and yellow-green, evokes the tidal plains that surround the River Taf. Loose brushwork and fluid wet-on-wet techniques bring movement to the grasses and muddy estuary floor, while the tree-covered hillside and background hills lend the scene depth and shelter.
The handwritten inscription on the reverse — “Laugharne S. Wales 67” — places this work among Herbert’s early plein-air studies, when he was actively exploring rural and coastal regions of the UK. The painting reflects a more dramatic, almost cinematic quality that sets it apart from his later, more serene compositions.
This is a wonderful example of a location with cultural weight rendered with emotional precision. Collectors of Welsh landscape, literary locations, or expressive British watercolours from the 1960s will find strong appeal in this evocative and site-specific work.
