About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Oil Painting of Seaside Harvesters with Gulls in Flight By Fanch Lel (French b. 1930) Size: 8.5 x 10.5 inches (height x width) Signed: Yes Oil painting on card, 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: In this captivating painting by Fanch Lel, three figures are portrayed harvesting along a coastal shoreline, engaged in a quiet yet industrious moment set against a pastel-colored, atmospheric sky. The scene captures a sense of movement and harmony between the figures and the flock of gulls flying overhead. The soft, muted palette of the sky, painted in pale pinks, creams, and gentle blues, gives the piece an ethereal quality, while the swirling brushstrokes suggest the play of wind and clouds, adding depth and texture to the setting. The three figures, two women and one man, are depicted with a focus on posture and form rather than detailed features, capturing the essence of their work and their connection to the sea. Dressed in earthy tones, each holds a tool and appears to be focused on the task at hand, their bodies slightly bent and hands reaching down to gather or fish from the shallow water. The simplicity of their forms adds to the sense of timelessness, evoking an age-old ritual of labor by the sea. Seagulls punctuate the composition, their wings rendered with fluid strokes of white and black that contrast against the soft background, adding dynamic movement to the tranquil scene. Their presence, circling above the harvesters, emphasizes the natural, symbiotic rhythm between humans and nature. This piece, with its harmonious blend of soft hues, flowing brushstrokes, and understated human figures, encapsulates a moment of peaceful connection to the environment. Lel’s artistry brings forth a meditative quality, encouraging viewers to reflect on the beauty and simplicity of coastal life and the relationship between the people and the land they depend on.
