Description:
This evocative impressionist street scene depicts a quiet French village bathed in the soft, silvery light of a rainy day. Two central figures walk close together under black umbrellas, their forms reflected in the glistening cobblestone road as puddles pool at their feet. Other silhouettes emerge gently in the background, suggesting a town going about its daily rhythm despite the drizzle.
The muted palette of greys, mauves, and soft rust tones captures the damp beauty of a moody afternoon, where clouds roll heavily across the sky and the architecture melts into the atmosphere. The prominent spire of a church draws the eye upward, adding height and a sense of quiet solemnity to the otherwise intimate scene.
Rendered in expressive, broad brushwork, the artist captures not only the architecture but also the feeling of being caught in the rain — the soft hum of footsteps, the chill of the air, the comfort of companionship. Ideal for collectors drawn to atmospheric European street scenes and the emotional power of understated colour.

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.
