Description:
Title: French Watercolor of de Renie French Countryside Scene with Trees by Fanch Lel (French b. 1930)
Size: 10.25 inches (height) x 10.5 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: Painted on November 5th, 1976, this atmospheric gouache scene by French artist Fanch Lel captures the calm beauty of a small French village, titled Village de Renie. A row of softly painted houses sits beyond a cluster of slender trees, their autumn leaves rendered in delicate strokes of gold, ochre, and green. The composition is both spacious and serene, framed by cool tones of lavender-grey and dusty blue, evoking a crisp late autumn afternoon. The foreground’s tree trunks and shadows suggest a fenced path or rural lane, while the architectural shapes beyond hint at rustic farmhouses or country dwellings typical of the Loire Valley or central France. The inscription at the top adds a documentary quality to the work, giving it the feel of a moment observed and recorded in time. Perfect for lovers of the French countryside, seasonal landscapes, or collectors looking for evocative plein air works with a sense of personal history.
