Born in Riga as the son of a merchant. Studied at the Dresden Academy of Arts. After a study trip to Italy, where he associated with B. Thorwaldsen and J. A. Koch, he returned to Riga in 1829. In 1832 he moved to Dresden, where, after a second trip to Italy, he became a lecturer at the academy in 1843 and a professor in 1846. Towards the end of his life he engaged in scholarship (the history of Livonia, natural sciences, etc.). In 1836 he painted a portrait of C. D. Friedrich, in 1833 the altarpiece of Riga Cathedral and other altarpieces for churches in Latvia. He was a prolific portraitist. (machine translation of the holder's Estonian text, unedited)
