In 1831 he moved to New York City, where he worked as a merchant.
He retired from business around 1845, and shortly afterward went to Europe, studying sculpture for several years in Florence, after which he moved to Rome. His best-known work is Undine, the title character in the novella by Friedrich de la Motte Fouqué, a water nymph who falls in love with a man.

He died in Faids, Switzerland, while en route to his home in Italy.
