Trained in Paris under Armand Toussaint, he later entered the École des Beaux-Arts. He is best known for his bronze sculptures, particularly busts and mythological figures (such as Venus and Cupid). His works, often created using the lost-wax technique, are distinguished by their realism and fine detail.
