Description

Title: F.T Roussel; French Coastal Landscape with Moored Boat and Cliffside Trees, 1995

Description: Title: French Coastal Watercolour of Horse and Cart Oyster Gathering Scene by Fanche Lel Size: 9.5 inches (height) x 11.75 inches (width) Watercolor painting on paper, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition, with minor signs of handling at the edges. 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 delicate watercolour by French artist Fanch Lel captures a quiet moment of traditional labour along the shoreline, where a figure harvests oysters or shellfish using a rake beside a cart pulled by two horses. The pale, watery blues of the sky and sea blend seamlessly in the background, creating a serene atmosphere that evokes the rhythm of coastal life. The horses—painted in soft browns and slate grey—stand patiently as the figure bends to his task, evoking scenes once common in the oyster-farming regions of Brittany and Normandy. Lel’s understated style, using minimal brushstrokes and subtle washes, allows the composition to breathe, suggesting motion, reflection, and calm all at once. This work beautifully celebrates the connection between land, labour, and sea, and would appeal to collectors interested in coastal traditions, equine subjects, or rural French life.
