Description:
This serene coastal gouache by French artist Fanch Lel depicts a small fleet of fishing boats resting on the sand under an overcast sky. The palette—composed of gentle greys, cool blues, and soft sandy tones—evokes the quiet, post-storm calm of a northern French harbour, possibly in Brittany or Normandy.
The boats are captured with minimalist charm, their masts standing like sentinels against the sky. A set of stone steps rises from the beach, leading the eye toward the pier wall and a row of white sails or flags gently catching the breeze. Lel's loose brushstrokes and understated composition give the scene a sense of quiet authenticity, typical of everyday maritime life.
Ideal for collectors of nautical art, coastal scenes, or impressionist gouache works, this painting offers a beautifully restrained and atmospheric depiction of the working French shoreline.

Fanch Lel
Fanch Lel’s paintings, primarily executed in oil and gouache, evoke the serenity and charm of the French countryside, with a particular emphasis on the region's coastal and rural beauty. His works often highlight iconic landmarks such as Mont Saint-Michel and capture the essence of Breton culture with his portrayals of the region’s people and customs. Lel's self-taught, plein air approach allows for dynamic compositions that reflect the atmospheric light and textures of the region, giving his pieces a timeless appeal. His choice of soft, muted colors and rich textures brings a sense of nostalgia and quietude to each painting, making them a perfect addition to collections that appreciate mid-century French art. A member of the Société des Artistes Indépendants and a Knight of the Palmes Académiques, Fanch Lel's works have been featured in numerous exhibitions across France, including in Paris, Avranches, Dinard, and Pont-Aven, to name a few. His art has been highly sought after by collectors for decades.
