This painting, titled 'Cottage in Geilertshausen' and dated 1977, captures the charm of a small countryside dwelling nestled behind blossoming trees and a rustic wooden fence. White blossoms scatter across the canvas in delicate contrast to the darker rooflines of the house. The perspective through the old wooden fence adds intimacy and structure, drawing the viewer directly into the scene. Executed in oil on canvas, Alexander Michael uses expressive brushstrokes and a vibrant palette to bring this springtime or early summer moment to life. The signature 'AM 77' appears in the lower left corner. A plain wooden frame surrounds the work, allowing the rich natural colors and textures to take center stage.

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.
