From 1859 to 1892, he regularly exhibited at the Paris Salon. In 1864, he sent the original bronze, "Pheasant and Weasel," to the Salon. His works were very successful with his contemporaries, particularly for their harmony and attention to detail. Exhibiting internationally, he found success in London and in the United States.
