He painted frescoes for the Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, worked for the royal tapestry factory, for which he painted cardboard boxes as templates (with genre scenes that are now in the Prado), and made engravings after famous paintings.

Francisco Goya was his brother-in-law, with whom he also worked several times.
