About the Item

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.
