About the Item

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.
