About the Item

Title: French Village Wedding Scene With Church Trees And Traditional Dress Painting by Fanch Lel Signed: Bottom right corner Size: 15.75 x 19.75 inches (height x width) Oil painting on board, unframed Condition: Good overall condition. Minor surface wear and edge scuffs consistent with age. 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 charming oil painting by Fanch Lel captures a festive village wedding procession outside a small rural church, likely in Brittany or Normandy. The figures are dressed in traditional regional attire, with the women wearing full skirts and lace headdresses, while the men wear formal black suits with high collars—suggesting a nod to mid-20th-century folkloric revival or earlier ceremonial styles. The small stone chapel stands to the left, its distinctive steeple and round window softened by the impressionistic brushwork. Tall trees sway gently in the background, framing the scene with patches of light-dappled foliage rendered in a gentle, muted palette of greens, violets, and greys. The artist uses confident, loose strokes to create a sense of movement and celebration, capturing the moment without fuss over detail. Painted in oil on board, this piece reflects Lel’s characteristic plein-air technique, where atmosphere, tone, and community spirit take precedence over formal composition. The pastel undertones and expressive figures give the painting a romantic, nostalgic charm. Signed Fanch Lel in the lower right, the work likely dates from the latter half of the 20th century and would make a striking addition to any collection of French or regional art. It would pair especially well with rustic or country interiors, or appeal to those with an interest in European folk life and traditional customs.
