About the Item

Title: French Village Market Scene With Figures and Church Tower Impressionist Painting by Fanch Lel Signed: Bottom right corner Size: 15 x 18 inches (height x width) Oil painting on board, unframed Condition: Good overall condition. Minor surface wear and edge scuffs consistent with age. 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 oil painting captures a bustling French village market scene, alive with movement and texture. Figures in dark coats gather beneath red market umbrellas, their forms loosely rendered in expressive, impressionistic brushwork. The artist uses a restrained palette of greys, creams, and soft blues to suggest a cool, overcast day, while flecks of orange and crimson add warmth and rhythm to the composition. Behind the market activity, a row of charming, traditional buildings rises with snow-tipped or sun-bleached roofs, creating a scenic architectural backdrop. A prominent church spire emerges in the distance, anchoring the scene with a sense of local history and place. The artist has handled perspective loosely, focusing instead on mood and light—echoing post-impressionist traditions. Signed in the lower right by Fanch Lel, the work likely dates from the mid-to-late 20th century. It exemplifies his spontaneous, plein-air style, capturing moments of everyday life with texture and vitality. The scene is painted on board with oil, showing impasto in places and areas of visible brushwork throughout. This piece would sit beautifully in a rustic or modern interior and appeals to collectors of French landscape and genre scenes.

Townscape oil painting of Semur, France
By Letitia Marion Hamilton
Located in Nr Broadway, Worcestershire
Letitia Marion Hamilton Irish, (1878-1964) Gateway, Semur Oil on canvas, signed, inscribed on verso 'Gateway, Semur by Letitia Marion Hamilton of Fonthill Palmerstown, Dublin’ Image size: 24 inches x 20 inches Size including frame: 33 inches x 29 inches A lovely painting of the town of Semur-en-Auxois, France by Letitia Marion Hamilton. The work with its airy lightness shows figures outside a grocers shop next to the Guillier Gate showing a glimpse of the central square of the famous medieval town. The use of white pigment in her colours applied in a thick impasto was a trademark of her work. Letitia Marion Hamilton was born in Dunboyne, County Meath on 30 July, 1878, the daughter of Charles Hamilton and Louisa Brooke. She came from a family of famous Irish women artists: her great-grandmother was Caroline Hamilton (1771-1861), her elder sister Eva Hamilton (1876-1960) was also a talented painter, and her cousin Rose Maynard Barton (1856-1929) was a townscape and watercolour artist. The family lived at Hamwood, Dunboyne, Meath in Ireland. She trained at the Metropolitan School of Art, Dublin alongside her sister Eva under Sir William Orpen (1878-1939) before attending the Slade School of Art where she was taught by Sir Frank Brangwyn (1867-1956). She made her debut at the Royal Hibernian Academy in 1909 where she continued to exhibit regularly. In 1912, she was awarded a silver medal by the Dublin school and received another from the Board of Education National Competition. After the death of her father in 1913, she and her family moved to 40 Lower Dominick Street in Dublin, later living at Monasterevin, in Co. Kildare. By 1920, they had relocated to Font Hill in Palmerstown, Dublin. In the same year, Hamilton formed the Society of Dublin Painters together with Paul Henry, his wife Emily Grace Mitchell...
