He studied at the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg with Dmitry Levitsky. He received the title of "candidate for academicians" (1779). He received the title of academician (1794) for a portrait of the adjunct professor Gabriel Ignatievich Kozlov, an associate professor at the Academy of Arts. [1]
