Antoine Ponchin was the son of the painter Joseph Marius Ponchin and Françoise Élisabeth Victorine Moulin. His own son, Joseph Henri Ponchin, would also become a painter.
Antoine Ponchin studied under Théophile Henri Décanis (1847-1917), Julien Gustave Gagliardini (1846-1927), and Jean-Baptiste Olive (1848-1936). He exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1893 to 1933 and received an honorable mention in 1904 (Old Mill on the Morin), a 3rd class medal and the Raigecourt-Goyon Prize in 1906 (Evening Sun, Étang de Berre and Landscape), and then a 2nd class medal in 1910 (Cypress of Provence and Étang de Carronte).
After participating in the 1907 International Maritime Exhibition in Bordeaux, the 1922 Colonial Exhibition in Marseille, and winning the Indochina Prize that same year, he was sent on a mission to Hanoi by the Ministry of Colonies from October 4, 1922, to May 6, 1923.
His son, Jos Henri, accompanied him, and together they decorated the Albert-Sarraut High School in Hanoi. The success of his mission led to his being nominated by the Minister of Colonies for the rank of Knight of the Legion of Honor. He died on December 15, 1933, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.
