Description: This small yet evocative Impressionist oil painting captures a peaceful rural village scene set within the Breton countryside. The artist, Fanch Lel, uses a subdued and earthy palette, punctuated by soft yellows, greens, and blues, to depict a pair of cottages nestled among trees. The loose and textured brushwork lends an atmospheric feel to the piece, as the soft blending of colors mimics the dappled light filtering through the trees. The composition is framed by a gentle hillside, creating a harmonious and calm landscape. This tranquil village scene encapsulates the artist’s signature style of capturing quiet rural life in Brittany. Dated to around the early 2000s, the work is a beautiful snapshot of a peaceful village, rendered in a characteristic Impressionist style.
