About the Item

Vibrant Bouquet of Roses signed by Fanch Lel (French b. 1930) size: 10.75 x 9 inches oil painting on board, unframed condition: the painting is in very good condition. It has previously been stored in the artists studio. 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 delightful oil painting by P. Le Lay captures the timeless beauty of a floral arrangement, skillfully rendered in an impressionist style. The bouquet, composed of red and pink roses complemented by bright orange carnations, is arranged in a clear glass vase, creating a soft yet vibrant contrast against the gentle blue and beige background. The artist's loose brushstrokes emphasize the fresh, spontaneous quality of the flowers while allowing the viewer to feel the texture and energy of each bloom.

The artwork exudes a calming ambiance and would bring a touch of natural beauty to any interior setting.
