Lucien de Scevola studied at the atelier Cormon and exhibited first with the Artistes Francais and then became a member of the Société National des Beaux-Arts where he achieved significant recognition every year over a period of years. He had a brilliant career as a portraitist of members of society such as the duchesse d'Uzes, the duchesse de Brissac and the duc de Massa to name a few. In 1914 he was made an officer of the Legion d'Honneur.
