After terminating his studies at the Vienna Academy , he worked four years in the studio of Josef Kriehuber . Like him, he mainly worked as a portrait lithographer . He enjoyed great popularity in Viennese society, whose members he portrayed in single sheets and in whole series ( Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall , Franz Grillparzer , František Palacký , members of the Academy of Sciences , famous actors).
