After practising law for several years, he decided to dedicate himself entirely to painting, working as a painter of miniatures and portraits. He was especially fond of the life and customs of the Indian tribes, which he studied for various years, even opening an "Indian Gallery" in New York. After various fruitless attempts to sell it to the State, he spent various years in Europe, although without too much success, even being put in prison on account of his accumulated debts. He spent several years in South America and at the end of his life he returned to New York, where he died. He is considered to be the doyen of the American painters of the West.
