Description:
This 1993 monochrome harbour scene by French artist Fanch Lel is an atmospheric study of boats, buildings, and a fortified medieval tower, executed in elegant washes of sepia and ink. The restrained colour palette gives the work a timeless, documentary quality, evocative of early 20th-century travel sketchbooks and architectural drawings.
The painting features a stone tower rising above a quiet waterfront, its turrets and windows rendered in soft, confident strokes. Three moored boats in the foreground draw the eye into the composition, while a winding coastal path gently guides the viewer through the village rooftops in the distance.
The piece reflects Lel’s affinity for French coastal architecture and historic port towns. With its mix of marine and architectural elements, this is a striking work for lovers of European heritage scenes, monochrome aesthetics, or collectors drawn to moody, narrative compositions.

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.
