About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Winter Street Scene with Figures and Church Spire by Fanch Lel (French b. 1930) Size: 7.25 inches (height) x 9.75 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: This evocative winter street scene by Fanch Lel captures the quiet charm of a French village cloaked in soft, wintry hues. The view looks down a cobbled lane populated by scattered figures in motion, their blurred forms suggesting a bustling yet gentle pace of life. A towering church spire rises at the heart of the composition, flanked by timber-framed houses that hint at traditional French architecture. Executed in thick, expressive brushstrokes, the artist uses a palette of pale blues, muted pinks, and cool greys to suggest a frosty atmosphere and diffused light. The textured sky, filled with square patches of pastel tones, adds a dreamlike quality to the work. A strip of dark green trees on the right contrasts with the paler tones, anchoring the scene with a touch of depth and grounding. Fanch Lel’s signature style—impressionistic, textured, and atmospheric—is clearly present in this painting, which conjures a sense of nostalgia and quietude. Works like this appeal to collectors of French impressionist art and those with a love for European village scenes in winter.
