He engraved his first etching in 1862, Rue du Caire, which was published by Alfred Cadart and Luquet, also publishers of his series of engravings, Vues d'Égypte (1865).A pupil of Antoine Vollon, he exhibited at the Salon des artistes français from 1865 to 1890. He taught drawing in various communal schools in Paris and then supplied drawings to various newspapers. His production alternates landscapes and still lifes. He ended his life in Grasse,

His work is almost always quite monochromatic with a little splash of color here and there.

This is a very decorative piece and shows a great deal of skill in both the composition and the color balance which together give the painting a fine quality feel.

The piece is an oil on canvas and has been recently framed in a new English hand made Giltwood frame. less
