Auguste Moreau was the son of famous sculptor Jean-Baptiste Moreau, who acted as his first teacher. He studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and exhibited for the first time in 1861, reaching great success at an early age. The bulk of his sculptures were derived from allegorical or romantic figures and consisted of maidens, Pan, cherubs, or cupids. He was a member of the Salon des Artistes in France for around 50 years.
