Becquerel had his first educations with d' Hector Lemaire, and later with the animalist sculptor Prosper Lecourtier, who stimulates him to pick up his inspiration at the Jardin des Plantes.
He specializes in animal sculpture with a preference to birds of pray, and cat-likes, but also horses, fishes and smaller birds had his attention.
Between 1914 and 1922 he exhibits his works regularly at the Salon des Artistes Français, of which he becomes a member as well.
