AUDRAN, Benoit, the second engraver of that name, was the son of John Audran, and nephew to the former Benoit; and was also established at Paris. He engraved but a few plates. It is necessary, however, to be careful not to confound him with his uncle. But a little attention will easily prevent this mistake; for the second Benoit is vastly inferior to the first in
point of merit. We have some few portraits by this artist: and among other plates, the descent from the cross, from a picture of Pouffin.
