Description:
In this nostalgic rural scene, French artist Fanch Lel captures a peaceful moment of traditional life with a man and horse-drawn cart travelling along a winding country road. Painted in 1993, the work features loose, expressive brushwork and a soft, earthy palette that brings movement and atmosphere to the composition.
Autumnal trees with golden and ochre leaves flank the road, while the figure—clad in dark clothing—sits upright in a simple black carriage pulled by a white horse. The watery tones and fluid brushwork highlight Lel’s command of the watercolour medium, evoking a breezy, pastoral day in the French countryside.
This timeless image speaks to a slower way of life and the enduring connection between people, animals, and the land. Ideal for collectors drawn to equestrian art, vintage transportation, or rural European landscapes, this piece blends charm, history, and artistry in equal measure.

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.
