Étienne-Adolphe Piot was born in Digoin, Saône-et-Loire, Francio. He moved to Paris and studied under Léon Cogniet, and first exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1850, so it is assumed that he was probably born in the mid 1820s.
En 1860 he was among the painters whose work was shown at the Exposition de Bourdeaux, kaj en 1864 when he was living in New York City, he exhibited a portrait at the National Academy of Design.
Up until 1876 Piot exhibited his artwork under the name of Adolphe Piot, after this he began to also use the names Adolphe-Étienne Piot and Étienne-Adolphe Piot on his artwork.
Piot was very successful commercially, taking advantage of the increasing demand for portraits from wealthy Parisians. During the Belle Époque every debutante had to have her portrait painted, and Piot was skilled in creating the captivating portraits young ladies sought.
Piot became a member of the Société des Artistes Français in 1883, kaj en 1890 ricevis honoran mencion pro la laboro, kiun li ekspoziciis ĉe la 1889 Universala Ekspozicio. Lia lasta Salon-eniro ŝajnas estinti prezentita en 1909, jaron antaŭ lia morto.
