Fanch Lel
French Impressionist Garden Scene with Workers Tricolor Flag and Countryside

About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Garden Scene with Workers Tricolor Flag and Countryside By Fanch Lel Signed: Yes Size: 10.75 x 13.75 inches (height x width) Oil painting on cardboard, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition with expressive texture throughout; minor surface wear and edge scuffing present. 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 lively oil painting by Fanch Lel captures a simple but evocative rural French garden or allotment, where two figures tend to a patch of earth beneath a cloudy sky. At the heart of the composition stands a broad, flowering tree, painted in dynamic, impressionist strokes of mint, crimson, and ochre. Behind the low wall, a French tricolor flag waves gently atop a central building—its appearance suggesting a communal or civic structure, possibly a school, farm, or village mairie. Lel’s composition is grounded in quiet activity and pride of place. The palette is soft and earthen: warm creams and greens mingle with pale violets and sky greys. The figures are outlined loosely, allowing the suggestion of movement and purpose without overworking the scene. This piece offers a rare, intimate glimpse into the rhythms of everyday rural life in France—rooted in land, labour, and national identity. The impasto brushwork and palette choices are hallmarks of Lel’s expressive, impressionist style. He creates atmosphere through texture as much as tone, conveying the feel of a cool morning with diffused light and stillness in the air. This painting would suit collectors of figurative rural scenes, those drawn to understated social narratives, or anyone with an appreciation for French countryside life depicted with gentle authenticity.
