About the Item

Title: French Gouache Street Scene of Sunlit Stone Steps and Tower by Fanche Lel Signed: Yes Size: 10.5 inches (height) x 8.5 inches (width) Gouache painting on card, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition, with minor signs of handling at the edges. Provenance: All the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from the artists estate and have had no previous owners at all. Description: In this vivid architectural street scene, Fanch Lel captures the brilliance of southern French sunlight bouncing off weathered stone buildings and wide steps that ascend toward a distinctive round tower. Painted in gouache in 1994, the work celebrates the interplay of light and shadow with bold, confident strokes and a sun-soaked palette of blues, ochres, and terracottas. The upward perspective draws the viewer into the scene, evoking the sensation of wandering through a hilltop town—perhaps in Provence or Languedoc—where cobbled alleys give way to medieval towers and flower-filled balconies. The striking cobalt blue sky intensifies the sun-drenched mood, and the splash of orange flowers in the foreground adds a lively pop of colour. Perfect for collectors who love Mediterranean landscapes, travel-inspired art, or European village charm, this piece encapsulates the warmth and elegance of France’s historic hill towns.
