Édouard François Zier was born in Paris in 1856. He received his instructions in art from his father Victor Casimir Zier [fr] and later became a pupil of the painter Jean-Léon Gérôme.

His first painting, Mort de Caton d'Utique ("Death of Cato"), was exhibited at the Salon of 1874. Charles VI et Odette appeared at the 1880 Salon; these two paintings and also Esther (1883) were purchased by the French State. His Julia (Julie, 1875) on a Roman theme was shown at the 1876 Philadelphia Exposition and was awarded a gold medal.

He has illustrated for a number of periodicals, such as L'Illustration, Le Monde illustré, Le Courrier français, and Le Journal de la jeunesse [fr].

Two of the adventures of the comic book series Bécassine (1917 and 1918) were illustrated by Zier while the original artist Joseph-Porphyre Pinchon served in World War I.
