He is the author of numerous works of an academic nature. He exhibited at the Salon from 1867 to 1890. We know of several works on classical subjects, but also in connection with the Franco-German war of 1870 and its consequences. Some were published by the Susse foundry.
A significant part of his production was published by the Société des bronzes de Paris: this foundry, active from 1875 to 1930, was located in Paris at 41, boulevard du Temple and 14, rue Béranger.
He is a member of the Society of French Artists.
