Title: French Watercolour of Bridge and Riverside Cottages in Fontenay-le-Comte
by Fanch Lel (French b. 1930)
Size: 8.25 inches (height) x 11.75 inches (width)
Watercolor painting on paper, 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 beautifully atmospheric watercolour by Fanch Lel captures the gentle charm of Fontenay-le-Comte, a historic town in western France. The painting features a delicate arched footbridge crossing a peaceful canal, framed by leafy trees and colourful village rooftops in lilac, terracotta, and ochre. The reflections in the water are softly rendered with fluid, translucent brushstrokes, while the distant trees and rooftops fade into a misty, impressionistic haze. There are handwritten notes in French at the top and bottom of the page, adding a personal, sketchbook-like quality that enhances the work’s sense of immediacy and place. Dated August 29, 1996, this piece is ideal for collectors of travel studies, French regional scenes, or light-filled architectural landscapes. A tender, expressive snapshot of a tranquil riverside moment in the Vendée region.

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.
