Description:
Titled “Maui Bare” on the reverse, this expressive oil painting by French artist Fanch Lel captures two fishermen on a storm-lashed coastline, possibly inspired by scenes from the artist’s travels. One figure in yellow strides through shallow surf, while the other, in dark attire, stands ready with gear slung over his shoulder.
Broad impasto brushstrokes swirl through the dramatic sky, echoing the restless sea below. The palette—dominated by greys, blues, and ochres—enhances the moody, windswept atmosphere.
Whether referencing the Hawaiian island of Maui or used metaphorically, the title adds a sense of exposure and elemental connection, reinforcing the power of nature in Lel’s coastal impressions. Ideal for collectors of maritime scenes, stormy seascapes, or narrative impressionist painting.

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.

"Lobster Pots" Gloucester Massachusetts Seashore Scene Oil Painting with Figure
Located in New York, NY
Impressionist seashore landscape with figure of fisherman, lobster pots, and crashing waves in Gloucester Massachusetts. Willet has portrayed this piece in a most dramatic and energetic way and has packed much feeling into this miniature work. It is almost as if we are there in the waves in the early morning, with the man and his lobster pots. Christopher is known for capturing the beauty and simplicity of an earlier time of the 20th Century; old New York, families working together, villages and farms and friends taking walks together. Many are depicted in recognizable historical settings and this piece is an excellent example of this. Christopher engages his audience with the quick use of brushwork and great attention to picking up the energy passionately of his subjects. The piece comes housed in a decorated dark tone wood frame and it is ready to be displayed with hanging wire on verso.
Art measures 5 x 7 inches
Frame measures 7.25 x 9.25 inches
