His artistic approach used the lithographic stone to produce smooth gradients and soft shadows. He is best known for his series of female portraits, including the Alphabet des Dames and the Vocabulaire des Dames. These works depicted contemporary actresses and idealised figures without the rigid poses of the past. He captured his subjects with a sense of immediacy. He often placed them against plain backgrounds to emphasise their features and elaborate costumes.

Collectors today appreciate these prints for their clear depiction of nineteenth-century fashion and Romantic era aesthetics. The monochrome tones of his lithographs make them versatile additions to a home gallery. Because many of these works were originally issued in series, they are effective when hung in pairs or larger grids. They provide a factual look at the history of French printmaking and the rise of celebrity portraiture.
