A contemporary of Redouté, Bessa regularly exhibited watercolors of flowers at the Salons from 1806 to 1814. By 1816, he was appointed flower painter to the Duchesse de Berry, later becoming her drawing master. The writer-critic Charles Paul Landon praised the artist’s abilities, declaring 'so far as flower and fruit pieces are concerned there seems to be a strong competition between Redouté and Bessa, being both equally talented, hard-working and successful'.
