Title: French Impressionist Oil Painting of a Shrimp Fisherman Striding Along the Shore
By Fanch Lel (French b. 1930)
Size: 3.75 x 4 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 evocative gouache painting by Fanch Lel captures a shrimp fisherman as he strides purposefully along the shore, with his tools in hand, ready for the day’s catch. The fisherman’s brown attire blends into the muted tones of the wet sand, while his bright red gloves and the small blue boat behind him bring a vibrant touch to the composition. The figure’s posture suggests a well-practiced routine, reflecting the simple yet enduring traditions of coastal fishing life in France. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, capturing the fleeting moment of this timeless activity, while the soft background hints at the misty morning air of the coast.
The title, "Pêcheur de Crevettes," emphasizes the subject’s role, aligning with the artist’s ongoing interest in portraying everyday scenes of working life in coastal regions. The painting is a wonderful example of Fanch Lel's ability to merge impressionistic strokes with strong figurative storytelling, evoking the serene, often overlooked aspects of life by the sea.
This piece would appeal to collectors interested in marine art, regional traditions, or those who admire the rustic beauty of working-class subjects brought to life through art. Its smaller size allows it to be a perfect addition to more intimate spaces, invoking a sense of nostalgia for simpler times and the perseverance of humble tasks.

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.
