A stunning vintage oil on board painting by listed German artist Edward Harrison Compton (1881–1960), depicting a tranquil Alpine landscape with a rustic wooden cottage nestled at the base of towering, sunlit peaks. The scene captures Compton’s signature precision and atmospheric clarity, with finely rendered mountain ridges, lush green valleys, and a gently winding stream. Framed in a complementary rustic wooden frame that enhances the pastoral charm of the composition. Signed lower right by the artist, this piece is a fine example of Compton’s dedication to portraying the majesty and serenity of the European Alps.

Edward Harrison Compton was a German landscape painter and illustrator of English descent. He was born in Feldafing in Upper Bavaria, Germany, the second son of notable landscape painter Edward Theodore Compton. He received his early art training from his father, and after a period of study in London at the Central School of Arts and Crafts settled back in Bavaria.
Like his father he was inspired by the Alps to become a mountain painter ("bergmaller") working in both oils and watercolour. However, an attack of Polio at the age of 28 meant that he had to find more accessible landscapes to paint in Germany, England northern Italy and Sicily. He also provided illustrations for several travel books published by A & C Black.
In good Vintage condition with typical wear / marks consistent with age.
