Title: French Impressionist Oil Painting of Boats by a Coastal Tower
By Fanch Lel (French b. 1930)
Size: 10.5 x 9 inches (height x width)
Signed: Yes
Oil painting on board, unframed
Condition: The painting is in good condition, with minor signs of aging.
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 artwork, presents a charming seaside scene rendered in a classic French Impressionist style. The focus is on a pair of small boats resting near the shore, their vivid red and grey hues contrasting with the pale blues and tans of the surrounding landscape. The boats are anchored just in front of a prominent stone structure, a building with a sturdy tower, possibly a church or watchtower, which dominates the composition and stands along the water’s edge. Its old, textured walls evoke a sense of historical importance, while the gentle, flowing water provides a serene backdrop.
The sky above is filled with light blue tones with soft cloud formations, giving the piece a breezy, tranquil atmosphere. The loose brushstrokes and visible textures used to depict the sky, water, and buildings create an effect that is lively and dynamic yet peaceful. The artist’s skillful use of color and texture draws the viewer's eye across the canvas, from the vibrant boats to the architectural structure and beyond.
Signed and dated by the artist Fanch Lel, this piece reflects the authentic charm of small coastal towns in France. Whether or not this is a specific location, the atmosphere evokes the allure of the Mediterranean or Atlantic French coastlines. The composition captures the intimacy of life by the sea, balancing human craftsmanship with the natural world. A perfect addition for any collector who appreciates the nuances of Impressionist technique combined with maritime scenery.

Fanch Lel
