The painting 'Boat Harbor, Fraueninsel' from 1994 depicts a lively harbor scene on Lake Chiemsee, Bavaria. The foreground is dominated by the shimmering surface of the lake, where boats, jetties, and masts are reflected in animated, loosely rendered forms. Several sailboats are moored along the pier, covered with blue tarpaulins. In the background, the view opens toward the opposite shoreline and gently rising mountains, painted in cool shades of blue and green. The sky is filled with dynamic, textured cloud formations that enhance the impression of a changeable, light-filled day. The combination of recognizable motifs with a free, almost abstract handling of color gives the painting a dynamic yet atmospheric presence. The painting is signed and dated 'AM 94' in the lower left corner.

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.
