Edouard Drouot was born in 1859 and studied in Paris under Thomas and Mathurin Moreau. He is better known as a genre painter and won a third class medal at the Salon of 1892 and an honourable mention at the Exposition Universelle of 1900 for such work. He also modelled a number of animalier bronzes, as well as genre statuettes.
