He started exhibiting painting at the Salon in 1822, and in 1827, he won a second class medal. He was also a drawing teacher at the Louis-Legrand School.[1] His painting Le braconnier (The poacher) is in the collection of the Louvre.[2]
In addition to painting, he drew cartoons, including one lampooning the British as uncultured after Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.[3] That cartoon and others are in the collection of the British Museum.[4]
