This vivid and detailed painting by Alexander Michael, dated 1990, captures the charm of rural life with a bustling sunflower field at the height of summer. Towering sunflowers, some drooping under their weight, dominate the top half of the composition in vibrant yellows and greens. Below, a lively group of three hens and a rooster pecks its way through the earthy soil among rows of purple cabbages and garden foliage. The energetic brushwork and rich palette give this rural scene a joyful and expressive character, echoing Michael’s distinctively colorful and textured style. The painting is signed 'AM 90' in the lower right corner. Painted on oil on wooden plate and framed in an antique wooden gilded frame. A dynamic and joyful country scene, full of color and life — a delightful piece for collectors of expressive rural art.

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.
