About the Item

Title: Impressionist Beach Scene at Le Mont Mauni Plestin les Grèves with Figures by Fanch Lel Signed: Verso Size: 14.75 x 18 inches (height x width) Oil painting on board, unframed Inscribed verso: Fanch Lel – “Le Mont Mauni à Plestin” Condition: Good condition overall. Minor paint loss and light corner wear consistent with age. The surface is textured and expressive, with visible impasto. 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 gentle coastal painting by Fanch Lel captures a quiet summer moment at Le Mont Mauni à Plestin, a beach area near Plestin-les-Grèves in northern Brittany. A woman and child walk hand in hand across the soft sands, accompanied by a lone parasol and the shifting shade of nearby trees. Painted in pale coastal tones of seafoam green, creamy beige, lemon yellow, and cool blue, the composition evokes the hushed, sun-dappled feel of a calm day by the sea. Plestin-les-Grèves is a commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department, known for its expansive tidal beaches and lush coastal forests. Lel’s impressionist brushwork captures both the natural beauty and the emotional intimacy of the location. His thick, expressive strokes create a painterly rhythm across the landscape—from the shimmering light in the foreground to the leafy foliage on the right. This scene reflects a more personal side of Lel’s practice, focusing not just on landscape but also on the human presence within it. The figures are loosely formed yet tender in gesture, suggesting themes of family, memory, and tranquillity. Ideal for collectors of French coastal painting and those drawn to atmospheric figurative works, this piece would sit beautifully in a space that values quiet moments, pastel palettes, and painterly texture.
