About the Item

Title: Impressionist Still Life with Apples in Bowl Jacques Cartier Basin Saint Malo By Fanch Lel Signed: Yes Size: 10.75 x 13.5 inches (height x width) Oil painting on board, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition. 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 evocative still life painting by French artist Fanch Lel captures a timeless and tranquil moment, offering a unique contrast to his more dynamic cityscapes and harbor scenes. Titled “Le bassin Jacques Cartier à St Malo,” this piece reflects Lel’s skillful balance of texture, color, and emotion—merging the serenity of a domestic setting with subtle geographic reference to the historic port city of Saint-Malo in Brittany, France. The composition centers around a white bowl filled with warm-toned apples, rendered in soft coral and orange hues with hints of pink and sienna. Three apples sit outside the bowl, grounding the composition and adding depth. The loosely applied brushstrokes and softly layered textures give the painting a dreamlike quality, reminiscent of both Post-Impressionist and Fauvist sensibilities. The muted sage and blush background is alive with layered pigments and a rich painterly surface, inviting closer inspection. Fanch Lel’s signature appears in the lower right corner, affirming the authenticity of this expressive and delicately balanced work. The reverse of the board includes the handwritten title and location, referencing the Jacques Cartier Basin—a quay area named after the famous explorer and located in the maritime heart of Saint-Malo. While this still life doesn’t depict the basin directly, the reference may suggest the setting where it was painted or the artist’s inspiration. Ideal for collectors drawn to French modernist art, still life compositions, or works with historical references to Brittany, this painting brings both a quiet intimacy and an atmospheric connection to coastal France.
