About the Item

Title: Rainy Market Day Scene with Women Carrying Baskets and Black Umbrellas By Fanch Lel Signed: Yes Size: 13 x 10.75 inches (height x width) Oil painting on board, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition with minor signs of wear and handling along the edges 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 by Fanch Lel, titled Retour du Marché Sous la Pluie (“Return from the Market in the Rain”), captures a charming rural French scene of two women walking home under umbrellas on a rainy day, their baskets full of fresh produce. Set against a misty grey backdrop, the soft palette of pinks, greens, and earthen tones conveys both the moodiness of the weather and the comforting routine of everyday life. Fanch Lel’s work often focuses on scenes from traditional village life in France, and this piece is a wonderful example of his loose, expressive brushwork and ability to convey atmosphere through suggestion rather than detail. The streaks of soft reflection on the wet ground and the fall foliage evoke a specific moment of post-market calm, bringing a sense of nostalgia to the viewer. Rural market scenes have long captivated collectors, particularly those drawn to French regionalism and post-impressionist techniques. Pieces like this often resonate with buyers seeking a story as well as aesthetic beauty. Lel’s work combines emotional warmth with skilled observation, making this a beautiful addition to any collection of French or provincial art.
