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 peaceful impressionist river landscape by Fanch Lel depicts a calm waterway flanked by towering pine trees, with soft reflections of a white cottage and red-roofed buildings mirrored perfectly in the still water. The scene likely evokes a quiet spot in rural France, perhaps near a canal or forested riverbank in the Loire or Dordogne regions, where such serene scenes are common. Painted in oil on card, Lel's expressive brushwork brings vibrancy to the trees, which rise in arcs of pale lemon, sage green, and midnight blue against a soft sky. The water below captures dappled reflections in a palette of peach, lavender, and moss. A narrow path leads along the left bank toward a small arched bridge in the background, drawing the viewer into the composition and suggesting quiet movement through the scene. The combination of strong verticals in the trees, gentle horizontals in the river, and abstracted color blocks throughout gives this piece a rhythmic, meditative quality. Though unsigned, the work bears all the hallmarks of Lel’s style—impressionistic, tranquil, and rooted in personal observation of nature. Ideal for collectors of landscape painting, French rural art, or those seeking serene, nature-inspired works to bring warmth and stillness to their interiors.
