(Peter), an eminent French engraver, was a member of the royal academy of painting and sculpture; and died at Paris in 1739, at 42 years of age. His portraits are neat and elegant; but laboured to the last degree. They are copied from Rigaud and other French masters; and abound in all that flutter and licentious drapery so opposite to the simple and chaste ideas of true taste. He chiefly excels in copying Rigaud's frippery, lace, silk, fur, velvet, and other ornamental parts of dress.—His father was excellent in the same art.
