Albert Dubois-Pillet was born in Paris and initially attended the Imperial Military School in Saint-Cyr. Shortly thereafter, Dubois-Pillet fought in the Franco-Prussian War as an officer and was captured by the Germans. After his release, Dubois-Pillet found inspiration in the works of the neo-Impressionists and began to paint.

One style that Dubois-Pillet used was Pointillism, inspired by the styling of fellow neo-Impressionist Georges Seurat.

Watercolors and oil paint were the main medium of Dubois-Pillet, but as is the case with many artists, there must be a number of sketches left behind, forgotten or otherwise misplaced.

Dubois-Pillet had a very brief career as an artist, cut tragically short by his death at the age of 44. Most of his best work was created in the 1880’s and he left behind an oeuvre of calm landscapes, seascapes and images of rural French life.
