For an artist whose renderings of buildings had the precision of a draftsman, he did as many fine works capturing human forms in a wide range of natural states; most are not in formal poses though portraits are also part of his varied catalog. In later years, and on return to northern climates, he did a number of marine works, again faithfully detailing the features of large ships that were essential to their good function.
