His tastes and own style were heavily influenced by his teacher, James Pradier, with whom he studied from 1829 to 1836. Cumberworth aligned himself with the emerging anti-academic sculptors of Romanticism in the 1830s, such as Feuchère, Dantan, Maindron and Barre. He attended the Ecole des Beaux Arts and exhibited at the Paris Salon from 1833 through 1848. He worked for the Susse Frres foundry of Paris and is known for his classical and allegorical subjects as well as exotic figures in the Orientalist style such as this pair. He won the Prix de Rome in 1842, but was disqualified after it was found that he was not a Frenchman.
