This composition features a calm inlet of water bordered by reeds and salt marshes with a simple white bridge crossing into a small cluster of buildings in the distance. Two cottages stand to the left edge of the scene and the skyline includes the silhouette of a church tower suggesting the historic core of the village. Walberswick is a well known destination for artists located just south of Southwold and long celebrated for its light coastal views and preserved architectural character. This painting captures the essence of the area’s flat landscape and wide skies with subtle tonal shifts and a muted colour palette typical of the artist’s East Anglian subjects. Herbert’s handling of shadow form and natural light gives this work a relaxed immediacy and quiet charm. A perfect acquisition for collectors of Suffolk landscapes river scenes or postwar British watercolour.
