When he met Léon Xanrof (1867-1953), he began a career in illustration, which led to satirical drawings for the press. In 1896, he was one of the founders of the "Vache Enragée" cavalcade in Montmartre, along with his friends Xanrof, Puvis de Chavannes and Adolphe Willette. He was awarded the Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur in 1911.
