In 'Garden Flower Basket', dated 2000, artist Alexander Michael depicts a lush, colorful garden terrace. At the center stands a large flower basket overflowing with geraniums, lavender, and various summer blooms. Stone steps in the background lead to a partially open door, creating depth and inviting the viewer into the intimate outdoor space. Terracotta pots, a bench, and decorative garden elements add charm and domestic warmth to the composition. Painted in oil on chipboard. The signature 'AM 2000' appears in the lower left corner. A dark reddish-brown wooden frame encloses the painting, complementing the warm tones and enhancing the richness of the image.

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.
