In 1875 he first took part in the exhibitions of the Paris Salon and was henceforth regularly represented with works. Lecourtier repeatedly received the prestigious award of a medal; at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900, he obtained, for example, the bronze medal. As an animal sculptor, the artist is best known for his lifelike depictions of dogs. Monumental bronzes of the artist are exhibited, for instance, in Buenos Aires or in Wassy, France.
