Title: French Impressionist Oil Painting of a Figure Rowing Along a Tranquil River
By Fanch Lel (French b. 1930)
Size: 8.75 x 10.75 inches (height x width)
Oil painting on board, unframed

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 captivating painting by Fanch Lel invites the viewer to a serene natural scene where a lone figure rows a small boat on a tranquil pond. The composition focuses on the quiet interaction between man and nature, as reflections from both the boat and the surrounding trees ripple across the calm surface of the water.
The center of the painting is dominated by a majestic evergreen tree, its lush greens contrasting with the bare branches of surrounding trees, hinting at the changing seasons. Lel's bold, expressive brushstrokes bring texture to the scene, especially in the foliage and the water's reflection, giving the composition an almost impressionistic quality. The light palette and soft transition of colors between the earthy tones of the shoreline and the reflective blues and greens of the water create a peaceful, meditative atmosphere.
The figure in the boat, small and understated, draws the viewer in as they paddle quietly through the mirrored surface. Their red hat adds a subtle pop of color against the otherwise muted tones, gently guiding the eye toward the center of the composition. The interplay between light, reflection, and shadow showcases Lel's skill in capturing the delicate beauty of nature with a contemplative mood.
This piece would appeal to admirers of impressionistic landscapes, offering a glimpse into the quiet beauty of a secluded, reflective moment by the water. The painting evokes themes of solitude, nature, and tranquility, making it a perfect addition to any collection seeking to capture the poetic essence of the outdoors.
