His paintings can be found in the collections of the British Museum and the Museum of Fine Art Boston. Cream and gold brocade mounting with bone scroll ends. 19th century. Scroll: 72” x 17 3/4” (painting: 30 1/4” x 13”). Generally good overall condition with minor soiling and signs of wear consistent with its age. The cream brocade mounting is slightly soiled. There are a few creases. This painting is from an old Texas collection. It belonged to his father, who was an antique dealer in Palm Springs, CA.
