   Painter. He studied at the Ecole Publique de Dessin in Strassburg, the Academie Royale in Paris, and trained under Lepicie. Worked in the style of Boucher, Fragonard, and Baudouin. He created galante interior scenes with great attention to the room decor of the 18th century, sometimes rather explicit depictions.
