A framed oil on wood painting featuring a lively field of sunflowers in full bloom, with a rustic rural backdrop including trees, garden structures, and red-roofed buildings. The scene is rendered in an expressive, textured style with thick, visible brushstrokes and a vibrant color palette dominated by greens, yellows, and blues. Painted by the German artist Alexander Michael in 1975, it bears his signature on the lower left side and a inscription on the rewerse. The title of the painting is 'Allotment garden at Winningr'.

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.
