Description: This dramatic gouache painting by French artist Fanch Lel features a moody riverside scene, dominated by a stone-arched bridge and a tall church tower rising above a cluster of village rooftops. Rich, expressive brushwork and saturated colours give the piece a dreamlike quality, with swirling blues, purples, and greens suggesting an early evening sky or the onset of a storm. The reflection of the architecture in the river is loosely captured with energetic strokes, creating a dynamic interplay between land and water. The stylised trees and distant buildings hint at a southern French town—possibly influenced by scenes along the Dordogne or in rural Provence. The bridge itself, with its rhythmic arches, is the focal point, anchoring the composition and lending it architectural weight. Ideal for collectors drawn to expressionist landscapes, French townscapes, or bold, colourful compositions, this artwork captures the drama and beauty of a historic riverside village with atmospheric charm.
