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.

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.
