Hoffmann eventually opened his own studio in Düsseldorf where he painted a number of oil portraits as well as etchings. Due to financial struggles the studio was not open for long, but Hoffmann’s reputation did not suffer. Hoffmann soon became a member of the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg, which led to a number of exhibitions in Russia, Germany and Austria.
