Description:
This delicately painted watercolour by French artist Fanch Lel captures a peaceful coastal village at low tide. Two fishing boats rest on the foreground shoreline, while others float gently in the shallows near the harbour’s edge. A church tower rises just beyond the harbour wall, anchoring the scene in a typical Breton or northern French townscape.
Painted in 1994, the artwork showcases Lel’s soft, impressionist style—his washes of pale lavender, grey-blue, and mossy green create a tranquil mood, enhanced by the still water and overcast sky. The fine pen-like lines used to define the rigging and rooftops contrast beautifully with the looser, almost dreamlike washes of colour throughout.
Ideal for collectors of maritime scenes, French coastal towns, or lovers of soft watercolour technique, this piece captures both the quiet charm and cultural atmosphere of life by the sea.

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.
