Jules Jacques Veyrassat

He began to work as an engraver in the 1860s, after becoming associated with the École d'Écouen [fr] and studying with Pierre Édouard Frère.

Later, he collaborated with the British art critic, Philip Gilbert Hamerton, on two of his books devoted to the topic: Chapters on Animals (1874), with Karl Bodmer, and the third edition of Etching and Etchers (1880), which featured the works of many notable artists, such as James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Jozef Israëls and Alphonse Legros.

He also produced engravings for a series of albums published by Alfred Cadart.

[2] He was also associated with the Barbizon school, two of whose members, Charles Jacque and Jean-François Millet, had an influence on his style.

As a result, his landscapes all depict some aspect of life in rural France.
