In the painting 'Harbor of Oban, Scotland', dated 1977, artist Alexander Michael captures the vibrant charm of the Scottish coastal town. Fishing boats animate the water, while colorful houses line the hillside in the background. A curved quay in the foreground draws the viewer’s gaze across the bustling harbor, emphasizing the flow and rhythm of the maritime scene. The moody sky, filled with shifting clouds, adds a dramatic and atmospheric touch. Executed in oil on ccanvas. The signature 'AM 77' appears in the lower left corner. A simple natural wooden frame complements the vivid composition without distraction.

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.
