Description: This vibrant gouache painting by Fanch Lel captures a tranquil French coastal village at low tide, with charming houses lining the waterfront and boats resting on the sandy shore. A central domed building rises above the rooftops, suggesting a historic church or civic hall—a landmark in many traditional French port towns. Loose, expressive brushstrokes in warm ochres, rich blues, and soft corals evoke the glowing light of early evening, with the sky brushed in pastel hues that suggest an approaching sunset. The scene is rendered in an impressionist style, with gestural lines and minimal detailing that convey atmosphere rather than precision. The boats, anchored in the foreground, add a sense of peacefulness and timelessness, hinting at daily life in a fishing village. The overall composition feels both spontaneous and harmonious, celebrating the beauty of French coastal architecture and the serene rhythm of seaside living. Paintings like this are ideal for collectors drawn to maritime scenes, French travel art, or impressionist works that balance colour and character with emotion. A perfect piece for adding warmth and charm to any interior.
