Description: This detailed pencil drawing by British artist Frederick Anthony (Tony) Herbert (1927–2024) captures a quintessential English riverside bridge, likely inspired by the Georgian and Victorian-era crossings found throughout the countryside and suburban London. The elegant stone bridge, depicted with strong arches and textured brickwork, spans a shallow river lined with rocks, grasses, and soft reflections. The artist’s confident hand brings attention to architectural form while maintaining a naturalistic charm. To the right of the bridge stands a handsome townhouse, perhaps a Georgian residence or converted riverside inn, nestled behind leafy foliage. The rooftop chimneys and ornate dormer windows are carefully rendered, adding a sense of scale and history. Trees rise behind the bridge at left, offering a quiet balance to the structure’s linear strength. Although this piece is more preparatory in feel — possibly a study for a watercolour — it stands confidently on its own, showcasing Herbert’s architectural sensitivity and compositional eye. Works like this are ideal for collectors interested in river scenes, historic bridges, or period architectural illustration.
