Alfred Jean Foretay was born in Morges, Switzerland, on January 12, 1861. At the age of 16, he left the country for Paris where, in 1877, he attended the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. A student of Falguières, he obtained an honorable mention in 1891 and a gold medal in 1904 while attending the Paris Salons. Fifteen years later, he married.
