About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Canal Scene with Bridge and Whitewashed Houses By Fanch Lel Signed: Yes Size: 16.25 x 13 inches (height x width) Oil painting on board, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition with expressive texture throughout; minor surface wear and edge scuffing present. 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 atmospheric canal-side painting, Fanch Lel captures the quiet elegance of a historic French town, with whitewashed buildings, shuttered windows, and a charming stone bridge spanning calm waters. The scene is likely inspired by towns such as Annecy, Colmar, or Chartres—places where narrow waterways thread between centuries-old architecture. Lel’s expressive brushwork brings life to the reflections in the water and texture to the aged facades. The sky is rendered in sweeping strokes of beige, soft blue, and dusky peach, giving the scene a tranquil, late-afternoon tone. The rounded turret roof and delicate chimneys add to the romantic character of the townscape, evoking a timeless sense of place. This work would appeal to collectors of French architectural art, canal scenes, or anyone drawn to moody, softly lit compositions with historic charm. It’s a subtle, evocative piece that transports the viewer to the heart of an old-world riverside town.
