The versatile painter Pierre Carrier-Belleuse grew successful at painting and drawing under the hand of his famous father, the preeminent 19th century sculptor Albert Ernest Carrier-Belleuse. Pierre also studied under Cabanel and Galland at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and debuted at the Paris Salon in 1875. He mastered pastels (a difficult medium only recently revived by the Impressionist school) rendering genre works, landscapes, historical subjects and portraiture. Other Parisian venues in which he exhibited included the Society of French Artists (1888) and the National Society of Fine Arts (1893-1911). He received an honorable mention for his work in 1887 and a silver medal at the Exposition Universelle in 1889.
