Description:
This richly textured oil painting by French artist Fanch Lel captures a charming rustic scene of everyday countryside life. A small boat drifts along a gently rippled waterway, where two figures—possibly fishermen or locals—row quietly under dappled afternoon light. Nearby, a simple, dark-gabled cottage sits nestled among loosely painted trees, its sloping roof catching glints of pale yellow, aqua, and green as sunlight filters through the leaves.
Lel’s characteristically expressive brushwork and thick application of paint lend a sense of life and movement to the composition. The sky is softly luminous, painted in soft lavender and pale blue tones that give the entire scene a nostalgic, dreamlike quality. In the background, trees lean gently in the breeze, framing the modest cottage with a blend of impressionistic gesture and rural romance.
The overall atmosphere is peaceful yet animated, as if pausing to capture a fleeting moment between work and rest—a visual ode to traditional French rural life. Whether inspired by the northern regions of Normandy or the softer climes of the Loire, the work beautifully encapsulates the mood of countryside harmony.
Perfect for collectors drawn to figurative landscapes, riverside scenes, or pastoral French subjects, this piece offers both a narrative and decorative appeal. Its muted but rich palette and human presence make it suitable for spaces focused on natural textures, nostalgia, and timeless charm.

Fishermen on a River - Mid 20th Century French Naif Landscape Oil Painting
By André Bouquet
Located in Sevenoaks, GB
A beautiful mid 20th century French naif oil on canvas depicting two men fishing on a river by André Bouquet. The artist is featured in Anatole Jakovsky's ''Peintres Naifs'' which is known as the bible of 20th century naif painters.
The work is signed lower left and presented in it's original gallery frame.
Artist: André Bouquet (French, 1897-1987)
Title: Fishermen on a River
Medium: Oil on canvas
Size: 16.5 x 19.5 inches (42 x 50 cm) including the frame
André Bouquet was a butcher by trade, who had his stall in open air markets. In order to have more time to paint, however, he became a factory cook and later a foreman in the same factory.
He lived only for his painting, which once he stopped working he did every day of the week, including Sundays. He is a sensitive and delicate artist, especially when depicting Parisian suburbs, of which he has caught the atmosphere remarkably. He also painted numerous snow landscapes.
