The artist is featured in Anatole Jakovsky's ''Peintres Naifs'' which is known as the bible of 20th century naif painters. The work is signed lower left and presented in it's original gallery frame.

In order to have more time to paint, however, he became a factory cook and later a foreman in the same factory.
