Born in Charroux, the son of sculptor Pierre-Amédée Brouillet and Élisabeth Leriget, Brouillet began engineering studies at the École centrale Paris in 1876 before entering the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts three years later, where he was a student of Jean-Léon Gérôme. In the year of his reception at the Salon de peinture et de sculpture in 1879, he attended Jean-Paul Laurens’ lessons.
