About the Item

Title: French Impressionist Oil Painting of Gathering of Breton Women in Dol-de-Bretag By Fanch Lel (French b. 1930) Size: 8.75 x 6.75 inches (height x width) Signed: Verso Oil painting on board, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition, with minor signs of aging. 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 piece titled “Bretonnes à Dol-de-Bretagne” by Fanch Lel, captures a scene from the historic town of Dol-de-Bretagne in Brittany, France. The painting depicts a group of Breton women, dressed in traditional attire, which adds an authentic cultural depth to the work. The brushwork here is expressive, with textured strokes that create an almost abstract backdrop, highlighting the distinctive clothing of the women. Lel's use of earthy and muted tones, contrasted with softer blues, evokes a nostalgic and reverent mood, connecting viewers to the deep-rooted traditions of the Brittany region. Dol-de-Bretagne, with its medieval architecture and rich history, serves as an ideal backdrop for this exploration of Breton identity. This town is known for its connection to the ancient Duchy of Brittany, and Lel’s work reflects a profound respect for Breton heritage. The figures stand amidst loosely applied colors, suggesting movement and life, which brings a lively feel to the painting.
