Courtois was born 18 May 1852 in Pusey, Haute-Saône, France to an unwed mother who was devoted to him. Early in life, Courtois revealed an interest in art and entered the École municipale de dessin in Vesoul (Franche-Comté). His drawings were shown to Jean-Léon Gérôme, and in 1869, Gérôme encouraged Courtais to enter the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Through his life, Courtois was in close friendship with fellow student Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret, together with whom he maintained a fashionable studio in Neuilly-sur-Seine from the 1880s.[1]

He taught painting at Académie de la Grande Chaumière, Académie Colarossi, Paris,[2] where Harriet Campbell Foss,[3] Georges d'Espagnat,[4] Eva Bonnier, Emma Cheves Wilkins, and Dora Hitz were students.

Courtois exhibited at the Salon de Paris, receiving a third-place medal in 1878 and a second-place medal in 1880. He was awarded a gold medal at the Exposition Universelle in 1889 and exhibited at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts from 1911 to 1914.[citation needed] He was made a Chevalier in the Légion d'Honneur.[citation needed]

His paintings can be seen in the art galleries of Besançon, Marseille, Bordeaux, and Luxembourg.[citation needed] He was a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.[citation needed] Among his students were Willard Dryden Paddock, Mary Rose Hill Burton, and Sara Page.[citation needed]
