- Pieter Dupont was born the son of Abraham Dupont and Anne Cathérine Marie Winter. In 1900 he married Frederike Vaarzon Morel. In 1906 his first son Pieter Jan was born and in 1908 his second son Willem Frederik was born. Willem Frederik Dupont is the author of the book Pieter Dupont, his life and works.
He followed a short education in Amsterdam at the Applied Arts School Quellinus, the National Normal School for Drawing Teachers and the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten. He was a student of Carel Hendrik Helweg and Maurits van der Valk, among others. As a painter, Dupont was known in his early years for his Amsterdam cityscapes, in which the influence of GH Breitner was noticeable. In 1896 he moved to Paris, where he became proficient in etching. He worked there until 1900, and continued to work in London, Nogent-sur-Marne (1900-1902), Auvers-sur-Oise (1903), Amsterdam (1903-1905), Hilversum, Oosterbeek and (Renkum) (1902).
Pieter Dupont was a teacher at the Teekenschool voor Kunstambachten (1891-1896) and in 1903 became professor of graphic art at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. He designed stamps and banknotes and made landscapes, forest landscapes, portraits, church interiors and cityscapes. In 1906 he made a cover for the book Landlooperij for the Brusse publisher in Rotterdam. His work can be seen in the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo and the Singer Museum in Laren, among others. A number of his etchings were published from 1893 by the firm EJ van Wisselingh in Amsterdam, in editions of usually fifty to one hundred copies. The considerable number of his etchings and engravings depicting workhorses is striking. In 1908 he was asked to engrave a new 25 guilder note after a design by AJ Derkinderen. Part of the engraving was completed when he became seriously ill in late 1910 and died of angina pectoris a few weeks later at the age of forty.
