He initially studied with his father, then became a student of Michel Martin Drolling at the Beaux-Arts de Paris.

This resulted in a change to his style; inspiring him to make his paintings brighter and more lively.

He adopted the son from her first marriage, Camille Dumény [fr], who became a well-known comic actor.
