Description: In this evocative portrayal of the French countryside, Fanch Lel captures the tranquil charm of “La Vieille Ferme” (“The Old Farm”) in the Vendée. A small rowboat gently glides across a pond, helmed by a figure who appears to be rowing toward the shore. Another figure stands at the front of the boat or may have just disembarked, walking toward the rustic farmhouse nestled among trees. The muted palette of blues, greens, and soft grays imparts a sense of calm, drawing viewers into a timeless moment of rural life. The impressionistic brushstrokes enhance the scene’s dreamlike quality, celebrating the simplicity and quiet beauty of the Vendée’s landscape.
