This evocative oil painting by Fanch Lel captures a serene coastal scene of boats resting at low tide. Painted in an impressionistic style, the piece features swirling brushstrokes and a muted color palette of blues and grays, which beautifully convey the calmness of the seascape. The boats, painted with loose yet expressive strokes, seem to float gently on the soft, reflective surface of the wet sand, while the background suggests a tranquil atmosphere, typical of the French coast. Lel’s impressionistic technique, especially his ability to capture the quiet beauty of a moment in time, is showcased in this artwork. The scene evokes a sense of stillness, as the boats await the return of the tide. This painting would be a perfect addition for collectors of mid-century French coastal art and those who appreciate the simplicity and elegance of impressionism.
