194564014San Francisco CA: Carl Frederick Hobby 1211 Jackson Street ca. 1945. One large oil painting on canvas sized 11 x 14 in. preserved as original stretched canvas within the frame as presented to the artist’s niece and with the original green & gilt frame sized 14.5 x 17.5 in. now professionally cleaned and w/ artist’s pencil numbering on verso of frame and apparently executed about the same time as his “Produce Stand†painting. Signed in lower corner this painting was presented by the artist following the War to his niece and held in the family until 2025. This original oil painting depicts a young Chinese-American child drinking from a bottle of orange soda in traditional Chinese hat and high-collared cloak with rain falling around the subject as well as brick wall and cityscape faintly in the background. Chinese-American children were frequent subjects along with their families for the artist as he often featured them with parents marketing or in their everyday lives on the teeming streets of San Francisco. This close large portrait represents an unusual format for the artist as he tended to paint and draw group scenes.Hobby 1886-1964 was the son of an Iowa City IA ophthalmologist and moved with the family as a teenager to San Diego CA about 1900 where he began working at 14 as a sketch artist and later published a book in San Diego in 1919 with his artwork. He studied art at the Cumming School of Art in Des Moines the Art Students League in New York and became portrait and landscape painter in San Diego until 1923. After a divorce from Plooma Crowther he settled in San Francisco in Chinatown where he became an instructor at the Art Center while also painting and sketching the densely populated area publishing “The Street of Dragon Lanterns Chinatown of San Francisco†in 1936 while contracting with the Madison & Burke Agency through World War II. Exhibits of his paintings and pen & ink sketches were displayed at the Oakland Art Gallery in 1928 and the Society for Sanity in Art in 1945. See: Maud McB.
