AUDRAN, Carl, brother to the preceding, was born at Paris in 1594. In his infancy he discovered a great taste for the arts; and to perfect himself in engraving, went to Rome, where he produced several prints which did him great honour. On his return he adopted that species of engraving which is performed with the graver only. He settled at Paris, where he died in 1674. In the early part of his life he marked his prints with C, or the name of Carl, till his brother Claude published some plates with the initial only of his baptismal name, when, for distinction's sake, he used the letter K.
