Watercolours on paper. Signed and dated 1904 bottom right. Gifted and precocious artist, he became famous since the beginning of the '900 as an illustrator, working for "The illustration francaise" from 1902 and "The sphere" since 1904, specializing in the description of tragic events such as the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, and reportage during the first world war. The two watercolours refer both to the operations of the Russian army, engaged in a clash with the japanese troops (war of 1904-1905). In the frame.
