Jacques Roettiers

Jacques Roettiers (20 August 1707 – 17 May 1784) was a noted engraver in England and France, and one of the most celebrated Parisian goldsmiths and silversmiths of his day.

As a Roettiers, he was born into a distinguished family of medallists, engravers, and goldsmiths.

Roettiers studied drawing and sculpture at the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, winning a prize to be pensionnaire du Roi at the French Academy in Rome.

In that same year, he married the sixteen-year-old daughter of Nicolas Besnier [fr], goldsmith to the king.

Examples of Rottiers' work can be found in the Louvre and British Museum.
