Béjot was born in Paris and studied there at the Académie Julian. He learnt to etch with Henri-Gabriel Ibels in 1891. Béjot's technical skills were already apparent in his 1892 first commissioned series, La Seine a Paris. He then firmly established his reputation with his widely acclaimed La Samaritaine, which was exhibited at the Peintres-Graveurs exhibition in Paris in 1893.[2]
Béjot's work is inextricably linked to Paris. He made many etchings of the Seine, as well as of the quays and buildings of Paris. His delicate use of light evokes the city's atmosphere.
