Title: French Impressionist Riverbank Landscape with Reflections and Cottage
by Fanch Lel (French b. 1930)
Size: 8.75 inches (height) x 11.75 inches (width)
Oil painting on cardboard, unframed
Condition: The painting is in good condition, with some light discolouration near the edges, consistent with age.
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 serene landscape by French artist Fanch Lel, a tranquil riverbank scene is brought to life with a beautifully muted palette and expressive brushwork. A rustic white cottage with a terracotta roof sits quietly nestled among tall, bare trees, its form reflected delicately in the still water below. The painter’s soft pastel tones of lavender, grey-blue, and pale green conjure a crisp, early winter or late autumn day, while the vertical lines of the trees and their watery reflections lend a gentle rhythm to the composition.
Fanch Lel’s distinctive impressionist style captures both atmosphere and emotion. His deliberate use of thick brushstrokes and simplified forms allows the viewer to focus on mood rather than detail, evoking a peaceful sense of solitude and quiet contemplation.
Paintings of riverbank scenes like this one are highly collectible, particularly among buyers drawn to calming rural imagery, seasonal palettes, and reflective compositions. This piece would suit both contemporary and classic interiors, offering a subtle touch of French countryside charm.

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.
