Jean Daullé

He was the son of Jean Daullé, a silversmith, and his wife, Anne née Dennel.

At the age of fourteen, he received training from an engraver named Robart, at the priory of Saint-Pierre d'Abbeville.

In 1735, his work attracted the attention of the engraver and merchant, Pierre-Jean Mariette, who provided him with professional recommendations.

Soon after, he was approached by the painter, Hyacinthe Rigaud, who wanted to make him his official engraver.

He engraved several portraits and plates of historical and other subjects, which are chiefly executed with the graver in a clear and firm style, which entitles him to rank with the ablest artists of his time.
