Description: In this charming 1995 painting by Fanch Lel, a peaceful harbor scene unfolds as small boats rest on the shore during low tide. The pastel tones of the sky and water enhance the serene ambiance, while gentle brushstrokes capture the rustic cottages in the background, painted with soft blues, whites, and earthy hues. The two boats in the foreground, one a vibrant light blue, add a focal point that draws the viewer into the tranquility of coastal village life. Lel’s loose, expressive brushwork brings a touch of impressionistic softness to the scene, conveying a sense of quiet beauty in a simple seaside village.
