His landscapes were commonly of Paris, notably Monmartre; Venice; Padua; Sienna; Marseille; Monte Carlo; and Avignon. In 1891 he began to exhibit his works in various salons, notably the Salons d'Automne; the Salon des Artistes Français; and at the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, where he became a member of the society in 1910. Two of his figurative paintings were included in an exhibition of artists who had died for their country, at the Salon d'Automne in 1919.
