Description:
This dynamic gouache painting by Fanch Lel captures a charming harbour scene with a tall white lighthouse rising from the pier, surrounded by colourful fishing boats and set against a sweeping coastal backdrop. The water is alive with movement, rendered in fluid strokes of rich cobalt blue and soft white, while a group of seagulls drifts across the breezy sky above.
Painted in 1993, this composition showcases Lel’s confident impressionist technique—his spontaneous, loose brushwork evoking the salty wind and rhythm of daily maritime life. The boats are suggested with bright splashes of red, blue, yellow, and charcoal grey, their masts sketched quickly yet evocatively along the harbour wall. In the background, the soft green contours of a headland stretch across the horizon beneath a pastel-toned sky.
This piece is likely inspired by the working fishing ports of Brittany or Normandy—regions known for their picturesque lighthouses and vibrant nautical culture. The atmosphere suggests either morning light or the close of a workday at sea, as the boats settle near the quay.
While the card shows signs of the artist’s studio process—including visible notations and playful sketches—this only adds to the authenticity and charm of the piece for collectors who appreciate raw, unpolished works with a story behind them.

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.

By Jan Pawlowski
Located in Greenwich, CT
Polish, b. 1949
Pawlowski was born in 1949 in Poland. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. In 1979 he was awarded his "authorization and certification" by the Ministry of Arts and Culture in Warsaw. This recognition is the ultimate achievement for Polish artists. Immediately after reaching this stature, Jan was in demand for numerous individual and collective exhibitions.
From 1981 through part of 1988, he worked throughout Europe. During this time period he was invited to exhibit in Switzerland and in England where he had a one-man show. His travels brought him to the United States for a short vacation that has turned into his newfound home.
His work was particularly well received in Michigan where he had three one-man shows, two of which were in Grosse Pointe and Harbor Springs...
