About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Landscape of Brunoy and the Old Bridge of Boussy By Fanch Lel Signed: Yes Size: 10.75 x 13.75 inches (height x width) Gouache 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 vibrant French landscape by Fanch Lel captures the Vieux Pont de Boussy—the historic stone bridge connecting the commune of Boussy-Saint-Antoine, located near Brunoy in the southern suburbs of Paris. Painted in soft gouache on textured card, the composition is suffused with warm light, blending soft corals, pale blues, and violets to create a dreamlike riverscape typical of Lel’s poetic impressionist style. Three arched bridge openings span the tranquil river, their shadows mirrored in the cool, reflective surface of the water. On the left, flowering trees in soft pink and cream bloom along the riverbank, while the village rooftops and chimney rise behind in ochres and rust tones, partially obscured by spring foliage. A subtle wisp of smoke curling into the sky adds a sense of calm rural life continuing in the distance. The handwritten inscription on the reverse confirms the specific subject, making this an appealing piece for collectors of French regional art or anyone with ties to Brunoy or Boussy. The Vieux Pont de Boussy is a cherished historical structure and a recognisable local landmark, dating back centuries and often painted by regional artists for its peaceful setting and classic stone architecture. An ideal choice for lovers of soft impressionism, small-scale French landscapes, or scenes tied to the greater Île-de-France region.
