About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Harbour Scene with Sailboats at Sunset By Fanch Lel Signed: Yes Size: 10.25 x 16 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: This romantic harbour scene by Fanch Lel is rendered in rich oils with a highly textured surface, depicting the soft golden hues of sunset washing over sailboats and a domed harbour structure. The layered impasto adds physical depth to the painting, enhancing the dreamy, atmospheric quality of the coastal light. The central building—possibly a rotunda or maritime tower—anchors the composition, with warm oranges, purples, and dusky blues melting into the sky and reflected waters. Small sailboats drift calmly across the scene, their cream-white sails catching the last of the fading light. In the foreground, the darker silhouettes of moored boats add balance and shadow, drawing the eye into the reflective harbour surface. The setting evokes the spirit of southern France’s Mediterranean coast or a historic port town along the Atlantic, possibly La Rochelle or Bordeaux. This painting would appeal to collectors of nautical or impressionist works, or those drawn to atmospheric evening scenes with a poetic, almost Turner-like softness.
