His first recorded work is a wax model entitled The Baron which he exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in 1855. He also exhibited at the Paris Salon between 1861 and 1877, including a plaster model of Post Horse in 1867, and a plaster model and bronze version of A Hunter with a Huntsman Up Blowing a Horn in 1876. The Broquin and Laine founders are thought to have cast his works.
