Description:
Title: Soft Pastel Colour Harbour Scene with Boats and Church Tower France by Fanch Lel (French b. 1930)
Size: 15 inches (height) x 9.75 inches (width) Gouache painting on card, 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: Rendered in soft, dreamy pastel colours, this harbour scene by French artist Fanch Lel depicts a charming coastal town, where two small boats bob gently at the dock beneath a towering church structure. The composition is marked by muted lavender, dusty blue, and gentle cream hues, which lend the piece a misty, almost ethereal quality. A sweeping sky filled with cool tones frames the historic architecture and calm waters below, invoking the peaceful stillness of a quiet French port. The central church tower, painted in creamy tones with blue accents, suggests a well-known landmark commonly found in historic coastal towns of Brittany or Normandy. Around it, clustered houses line the quay, their softly rendered forms blending gently into one another, capturing the harmony between land and sea. The subtle use of colour and texture invites the viewer to linger, drawing attention to the interplay between light, architecture, and reflection. This work is ideal for collectors of maritime art, lovers of French coastal towns, and anyone seeking a tranquil, atmospheric piece with a romantic, vintage feel. Its understated palette and expressive softness make it a timeless addition to any interior.
