About the Item

Title: Watercolour Street Scene of Josselin in Brittany with Church Tower by Fanche Lel Signed: Yes Size: 9.5 inches (height) x 12.5 inches (width) Watercolor painting on paper, unframed Condition: The painting is in good condition, with minor signs of handling at the edges. 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 watercolour by French artist Fanch Lel portrays a quiet street in the historic town of Josselin in Brittany, France. The artist inscribed the piece with “Josselia,” likely a personal or phonetic variation of the town’s name. Josselin is known for its medieval streets, slate-roofed buildings, and towering Gothic church spires—all elements reflected in this gentle and atmospheric composition. Painted in 1997, the scene is rendered in loose, flowing brushstrokes of slate blue, pale lilac, and ochre, capturing the stillness of a small Breton village. The central church steeple rises above the town, anchoring the otherwise softly abstracted architecture. A solitary figure walks along the cobbled street, adding a human element to the otherwise serene setting. This work is ideal for collectors of regional French townscapes, watercolour lovers, or those drawn to the historic charm of Brittany.
