Karl Heffner (1849 – 1925) was a Bavarian musician who became interested in art after working for an English art dealer, Tom Wallis, and ended up exhibiting and even being commissioned by Edward Prince Regent (the future king Edward VII).

This picture may have been painted on a wooden frame in this shape, i’m not sure; the reproduction i scanned was an engraving.

Be like a river,
let all situations flow,
And like a waterfall,
let your life be an extraordinary force of nature 🫰
