Works by the French artist Charles Hoffbauer (1875-1957)

"In London" from 1907, one of the more popular paintings I saw hanging in the Hermitage gallery in Amsterdam.

Hoffbauer visited the front in World War One and made several sketches published in "L'Illustration", 1918.

After the War, he moved to New York and illustrated scenes from "The roaring twenties" with rain and snow:

"Times Square", 1927

"Astor Hotel, New York".
