Oil painting by Alexander Michael depicting a lively sunflower field, 1975.

An oil painting framed on wood depicting a field of sunflowers in full bloom, with a rustic rural backdrop including trees, garden structures, and buildings with red roofs. The scene is rendered in an expressive and textured style with thick, visible brushstrokes and a vibrant colour palette dominated by greens, yellows, and blues. Painted by the German artist Alexander Michael in 1975, it bears his signature in the lower left and an inscription on the reverse. The title of the painting is 'Jardin ouvrier à Winningr'. Alexander Michael (1939-2024) was a German painter known for landscapes, still lifes, and architecture. His paintings can be stylistically attributed to Impressionism or a Post-Impressionist style. His loose, confidently applied painting style creates a lively and atmospheric effect with visible brushstrokes and bright colours. The conditions of light, colour tones, and the artist's subjective perception are characteristic of his works.
