Deutsch came from a well-established Jewish family. His father was a financier at the Austrian court.[1] He studied at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts 1872-1875, then, in 1878, moved to Paris where he became strongly associated with Orientalism. He was on good terms with another Austrian Orientalist in Paris, Rudolf Ernst.[2][3]
