A product of both the École des Beaux-Arts and the Sorbonne, he exhibited between 1926 and 1931 at the Salon of the Indépendents, and at the Tuilleries in 1932 and 1933. In 1937, de Botton was awarded the distinction of serving as the official painter of the coronation ceremony of George VI inside Westminster Abbey, by which time he had abandoned a realist style in favor of abstraction. De Botton established permanent residency in New York City in 1945 and became a citizen in 1977. Throughout his lifetime he exhibited widely throughout France, Europe, and the United States.

On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.50% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions.
