Despite the opposition of his parents, he began a career as a sculptor. He sent to the Salon, a plaster Eve, reproduced in marble in 1899. The same year, a bust of Jules Ferry was commissioned by the State. He then became a member of the Société des Artistes Français where he regularly exhibited statues, bronzes and sculpted ivories.
