About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Gouache of Beached Fishing Boats and Lighthouse by Fanche Lel Signed: Yes Size: 8.75 inches (height) x 12.75 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: In this vibrant coastal scene by French painter Fanch Lel, a cluster of brightly painted fishing boats rest on sunlit sands beneath a dramatic, colour-streaked sky. The composition draws the eye toward a distant lighthouse, its red lantern perched above a stone base, standing watch over the harbour beyond. Rendered in expressive gouache, Lel uses sweeping brushstrokes and soft abstraction to evoke the salty air and rhythm of seaside life. The foreground boats, painted in tonal blues, greens, and rusty reds, rest peacefully at low tide, their fine outlines and masts suggesting quiet purpose. Behind them, shimmering reflections and atmospheric strokes hint at a small village tucked against the horizon. Lel’s handling of light and colour offers both energy and calm, combining coastal charm with the looseness of post-impressionist technique. This painting would appeal to collectors of maritime art, French regional landscapes, or anyone drawn to evocative depictions of coastal life.

Title: Fishing Boats On French Beach With Lighthouse And Sea Coastal Marine by Fanch Lel Signed: Bottom right corner Size: 19.5 x 22.75 inches (height x width) Oil painting on board, unframed Condition: Good overall condition. Minor surface wear and edge scuffs 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 lively coastal oil painting by Fanch Lel, signed and dated 1990, captures a charming seaside scene with three brightly painted fishing boats resting on the sand at low tide. In the distance, a lighthouse stands watch on a rocky outcrop, its red-capped beacon contrasting against the pale grey sky and choppy turquoise waters. Executed with confident brushwork and a keen eye for maritime colour, this painting blends soft, overcast tones with vivid pops of red, blue, and orange across the boat hulls. The textured rocks, loosely rendered shoreline, and atmospheric sky lend the piece a dynamic yet calm feel—conveying both movement and stillness typical of harbour life. The composition is balanced and engaging, with the boats drawing...
