This expressive still life was painted in 1978 by German artist Alexander Michael and features a vibrant cyclamen in a green-striped flowerpot. The plant is beautifully arranged on a wooden tray surrounded by various artist’s tools—including paint jars, brushes, and a small glass bottle—giving the scene a deeply personal and creative character. The painting is executed in a loose, impressionistic style with dynamic brushstrokes and rich, layered colors. The vivid pinks, reds, and oranges of the blossoms contrast harmoniously with the lush green of the leaves. The work is signed 'AM 78' in the lower left corner. Oil on wooden plate. It is presented in a simple natural wood frame, which complements the warm tones and energetic composition. A remarkable still life that combines botanical beauty with an authentic look inside the artist’s creative space.

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.
