About the Item

Title: French Impressionist River Scene with Arched Bridge and Tree Lined Promenade By Fanch Les Size: 20.5 x 19.25 inches (height x width) Oil painting on cardboard, unframed Condition: The painting is in good vintage condition, with minor surface wear and handling marks consistent with its medium and age. Painted on corrugated cardboard, which gives a visible texture and organic feel to the work. 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 vivid impressionist riverside scene by Fanch Lel features a softly lit arched stone bridge spanning across a calm body of water, framed by expressive trees rendered in bold, sweeping strokes of yellow, red, and green. Painted in mixed media on corrugated card, the scene shows a romantic riverside promenade where figures walk along a sunlit path, dappled with shadows from the overhead canopy of trees. The composition exudes movement and atmosphere, with Lel’s characteristic painterly style bringing texture and energy to the tranquil setting. The central bridge structure—likely inspired by historic French river crossings—anchors the scene with architectural weight, while the surrounding trees curve gracefully above, adding drama and depth. The figures in the foreground, lightly suggested with pinks and greys, enhance the sense of scale and everyday charm, drawing viewers into the rhythm of a peaceful afternoon by the river. The pastel and oil layering creates a luminous quality, especially where light filters through the leaves and reflects off the water. Ideal for collectors of riverside landscapes, French impressionist scenes, or expressive plein air works, this painting offers a decorative yet evocative portrayal of life along a scenic French waterway—full of colour, movement, and warmth.
