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 gentle and atmospheric painting by French artist Fanch Lel captures a peaceful village scene, where a pair of tall trees frame the spire of a traditional French church in the background. Painted in soft gouache on paper, the work blends delicate strokes of pale blue, lavender, peach, and sage green to create a dreamlike composition that feels both fresh and nostalgic. The church tower, rendered in light blue with a tall steeple, peeks out from behind pastel-toned rooftops and lush foliage, hinting at the charm of rural village life. The loosely painted foreground, with two slender tree trunks and suggestions of fallen leaves, introduces a seasonal element—perhaps early spring or autumn. The overall effect is light and lyrical, giving the impression of a fleeting moment captured in time. This piece would appeal to collectors of pastoral French scenes, admirers of impressionist landscape work, or anyone seeking a tranquil artwork that balances structure and spontaneity with gentle colour harmony.
