Characterized by bustling crowds mingling before the citys monuments and streets teeming with horse-drawn carriages, trolley cars and the citys first omnibuses, his paintings of the early 1900s accurately capture the Paris of La Belle poque. As such they are valued for both their artistic merit and their historical documentary value.
