Artistic training in the studios of Bruno van Straaten, Jan van Ravenswaay, Pieter Gerardus van Os and Barend C. Koekoeck. A strong influence on his stylistic development was the animal painter Van Os in Hilversum, for whom he worked in 1824/25. His oeuvre includes cityscapes, landscape paintings and the depiction of small groups of animals, especially various species of birds, thus continuing a long tradition of Flemish and Dutch artists.
