He was highly respected for his fine detailed work
and was considered an inspiration to many artists.
His views of the colourful Parisian life, the boulevards,
cafés and flower stalls became well known.
At the same time he turned his effect on the portrayal
of adorable children, accomplishing a sensibility
and great harmony towards his subject.
