Title: Fanch Lel; Coastal Cliffs and Sea Stacks View of Tas de Pois in Crozon Peninsula Description: Title: Impressionist Beached Sailboat on Low Tide Shore under Cloudy Sky By Fanch Lel Size: 10.75 x 14 inches (height x width) Oil painting on cardboard, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition with expressive texture throughout; minor surface wear and edge scuffing present. 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 expressive oil painting captures a solitary sailboat beached on a sandy shoreline at low tide, framed by a soft, cloud-filled sky. Painted in a muted palette of greys, pinks, ochres, and hints of turquoise, the artist evokes a feeling of quiet reflection, as though the boat has been momentarily left behind by the retreating tide. The painterly texture of the card enhances the rawness of the brushstrokes, which move horizontally across the surface like the wind or water they depict. The mast leans gently to the right, drawing the eye up into the expansive, overcast sky. Wispy clouds drift across the horizon, rendered in feathery strokes of light grey and cream. In the foreground, daubs of pale yellow and violet hint at reflections and wet sand, subtly abstracting the composition while preserving its narrative clarity. This impressionist study of solitude and natural stillness may reflect the Breton coast or a similar French shoreline known for its tidal shifts and moored boats. The lack of figures and the soft atmospheric light give the painting a contemplative, timeless quality—ideal for collectors drawn to maritime landscapes, coastal scenes, and introspective artwork with a modernist edge. This piece would work well in serene, minimalist interiors or nautical-themed spaces and appeals to those who value quiet compositions with emotional depth.
