Aquatint. 13 1/2 x 17 1/2 in., 27 1/2 x 31 1/2 in. (framed).Before 1914, Robbe completed a large number of aquatints in color as well as in black and white, and for his excellence received a Gold Medal at the 1900 Universal Exhibition. During World War I, he was a pilot, and after the war, his art career waned because of increasing focus on modernist movements such as Cubism and because of his basic shyness that meant he did not aggressively promote his work. He turned his atelier into a commercial printing shop that has continued into the 21st century.Sources include:Christopher Clark Fine Art San Francisco,http://www.clarkfineart.com/artists/artists.php?pid=29&nav=artists&action=2Fitch-Febvrel Gallery,http://www.fitch-febvrel.com/robbe.htmlGeorgina Kelman,http://www.georginakelman.com/artist_bio.php?artist=34
