Description:
This lively gouache painting by French artist Fanch Lel captures a peaceful coastal moment, as a figure walks alongside a white horse near the shoreline under a sky filled with soaring seagulls. The artwork, dated 1993, is rendered in quick, expressive strokes of pastel blues, earthy browns, and soft greens, evoking the freedom and freshness of the sea.
The horizon line glows with a suggestion of a distant town or port, while the choppy brushstrokes mimic the textures of sand and surf. The movement of the birds above and the casual posture of the walker create a sense of stillness in motion—like a fleeting moment observed on a brisk morning walk.
This work is ideal for collectors of equestrian art, beach scenes, or those who admire impressionist depictions of daily life in the French countryside and coast. It is a quietly joyful piece that celebrates the bond between humans, animals, and the natural world.

Fanch Lel
Fanch Lel’s paintings, primarily executed in oil and gouache, evoke the serenity and charm of the French countryside, with a particular emphasis on the region's coastal and rural beauty. His works often highlight iconic landmarks such as Mont Saint-Michel and capture the essence of Breton culture with his portrayals of the region’s people and customs. Lel's self-taught, plein air approach allows for dynamic compositions that reflect the atmospheric light and textures of the region, giving his pieces a timeless appeal. His choice of soft, muted colors and rich textures brings a sense of nostalgia and quietude to each painting, making them a perfect addition to collections that appreciate mid-century French art. A member of the Société des Artistes Indépendants and a Knight of the Palmes Académiques, Fanch Lel's works have been featured in numerous exhibitions across France, including in Paris, Avranches, Dinard, and Pont-Aven, to name a few. His art has been highly sought after by collectors for decades.
