Title: French Impressionist Oil Painting of Docked Boats in a Harbor
By Fanch Lel (French b. 1930)
Size: 5.25 x 6.25 inches (height x width)
Signed: Yes
Oil painting on cardboard, unframed
Condition: The painting is in good condition.
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 dynamic painting by Fanch Lel captures a scene of docked boats, their masts stretching into the sky, set against a calm harbor. The artist uses bold brushstrokes and a striking color palette of blues, oranges, and purples to depict the tranquil water and the reflections of the boats. The boats, with their weathered appearance, suggest a moment of rest after a day's work at sea.
In the background, faint industrial elements, possibly cranes or dock structures, are visible, adding to the sense of a working harbor. The sky, painted in soft hues, complements the calm water, creating a sense of stillness and quiet. The boats, with their distinctive shapes and rigging, are rendered with a blend of detail and impressionistic strokes, making them both grounded in reality and suggestive of motion.
This piece speaks to the quiet moments of harbor life, where the bustle of the day has subsided, and only the boats remain, resting in the water. The artist's use of color and texture adds a dreamlike quality to the scene, making it a compelling representation of a coastal working environment.

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.
