A vivid and lively still life from a sunlit garden or balcony, this oil painting from 1980 showcases a variety of lush flowering potted plants. Prominently featured are bright orange and yellow begonias, nestled among thick green foliage. Red geraniums and other blossoms add depth and variety to the floral abundance. The terracotta and woven baskets sit on a tiled floor, scattered with fallen petals and leaves, lending a natural spontaneity to the scene. Oil on canvas. Signed lower left 'AM 80'. Framed in a simple, dark wooden frame, which contrasts warmly with the vivid palette of the painting.

Alexander Michael (1939-2024) was a German landscape, still life and architectural painter. His paintings can be stylistically assigned to Impressionism or a late Impressionist style. His loose painting style, applied with a sure hand, creates a lively and atmospheric effect with visible brushstrokes and bright colors. The light conditions, color tones and the artist's subjective perception are characteristic of his works.
