Born in Petrograd in 1877, Choultse received his first formal art training from Czar Nicholas II’s celebrated court miniaturist Krijitski. Choultse’s artistic popularity dates from his first exhibition at the Academie des Beaux-Arts, Petrograd, in 1903. Following this noteworthy debut, he not only became an honored exhibitor at all the major galleries in Moscow and Petrograd, but was also elected court painter to Czar Nicholas II.

Choultse’s works are represented in the collections of the Tretyakov Gallery, the State Russian Museum, and many others.
