Edward Theodore Compton, a British artist born in 1849, created this sepia toned drawing depicting "Heinrichsbad in Herisau." This picturesque scene showcases a grand building, possibly a spa or resort, nestled amongst verdant trees and a mountainous backdrop. The composition emphasizes the building's architectural details and the surrounding landscape. The soft tones and delicate lines create a tranquil and harmonious atmosphere, characteristic of Romantic landscape paintings.
