Stieglitz's school of applied art and in 1900-1902 at the school of the Society for the Encouragement of the Arts. In 1902 he received the qualification of drawing teacher at the Petersburg Academy of Arts. As his health deteriorated, he returned to his homeland, living from 1905 in Suure-Jaani, at first with Hans Kapp, later at his parents' home. He practised tonal wood engraving, drawing and painting. He became known for the wood engraving depicting J. Kapp's memorial and J. Köler's sarcophagus. His humorous pictures and decorations in wood engraving technique appeared in 1899-1908 in the Viljandi newspaper "Rahvaleht", in the supplement "Ulak" of the newspaper "Kodumaa" (title decoration) and in the supplement of "Postimees". Also in holiday albums published by J. Ploompuu, and in the Russian picture magazine "Niva". He painted portraits of cultural figures and society activists of Suure-Jaani and its surroundings. He designed the flag of the Suure-Jaani Fire Brigade Society and the stage curtain of the fire station. Of reproductive graphic art, the best known and technically most successful is the wood engraving of the portrait of L. Tolstoy painted by I. Repin.
