Animal sculptor, pupil of Barye and Frémiet, familiar with the Jardin des Plantes from the age of fifteen, regularly exhibited at the Salon from 1868 to 1914, first plaster and some wax and, from 1880, almost only small groups in bronze, often associated with other subjects.Despite the multiplicity of the subjects exposed to the Salon, it does not seem that these works were the subject of abundant editions.
