He celebrated in his works the Parisian life of the Belle Époque and exhibited at the Salon of French artists from 1903 to 1907. He was not interested in monuments of the city, but to the social life of places in vogue (Champ s-Élysées, rue de la Paix, Longchamp racecourse, etc.). On March 30, 1907, he was appointed official painter of the Navy: he then produced views of Toulon and its environment, and reported on various news such as the Sinking of the Kniaz Suvorov at the Russo-Japanese battle of Tsushima.After World War I, he settled in Parmain (Val-d'Oise), but the crisis of 1929 forced him to temporarily give up painting and return in Toulon where he worked in 1931 on the camouflage of the coastal structures of the Navy, in particular on the island of Porquerolles. He participated in the Universal Exhibition of 1937 in Paris where he decorated the Palais de l'Air.
