Title: F.T Roussel; French Harbour Scene of La Tremblade with Church Spire and Boats, 1994 Description: Title: French Gouache of Figures in Village Square with White Chapel by Fanch Lel (French b. 1930) Size: 6.5 inches (height) x 9 inches (width) Gouache painting on card, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition, with some light discolouration near the edges, consistent with age. 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 evocative watercolour and gouache scene by Fanch Lel depicts a bustling village square in soft focus, filled with loosely rendered figures moving through an open space. At the centre, a white chapel with a red roof peeks through a hazy forest, providing a peaceful anchor to the composition. The artist uses a palette of deep forest greens, warm ochres, muted purples, and blues, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The figures, sketched in abstract form, suggest movement, conversation, and community without overt detail—enhancing the sense of collective life. The layered washes and soft edges evoke early morning light or the veil of memory, turning this street scene into something gently nostalgic. Ideal for collectors drawn to figurative abstraction, Impressionist influences, or moody village scenes.
