He was a pupil of the Vienna Academy, exhibited at St. Anna‘s the first time in 1832 and participated in exhibitions of the Austrian Kunstverein from 1852 onwards. He painted several portrait miniatures and watercolor portraits, was occupied with numerous illustration tasks for almanachs and was also active as a lithograph. He portrayed several members of the Austrian Imperial family and aristocrats, however, he received the majority of assignments from the bourgoise society.
