This evocative oil painting, dated 1969, is a work of German artist Alexander Michael. It captures a tranquil autumn park scene, rendered in a muted palette of earthy browns, ochres, and grays. The expressive brushstrokes and soft contrasts evoke a reflective, melancholic atmosphere. A solitary figure is seen walking along a path lined with leafless trees, while a few more silhouettes are scattered deeper in the background, adding perspective and narrative depth. The piece is painted in a loosely impressionistic style, marked by fluid, textured brushwork. The painting is signed 'AM 69' in the lower right corner. It comes in a dark wooden frame that complements the tone and mood of the piece beautifully. Oil on cardboard. A timeless piece that captures the quiet poetry of everyday life in autumn.

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.
