Étienne Fessard

Étienne Fessard, a French engraver, was born in Paris in 1714. He was a pupil of Edme Jeaurat, and proved an artist of sufficient merit to be appointed one of the engravers to the king. He died in Paris in 1774. He executed a considerable number of plates, among which are the following:

The Holy Family, with St. Charles Borromeo; after Scarsellino, ca. 1750

Portraits
Jeanne d'Albret, Queen of Navarre

Subjects after various masters
The Virgin enthroned, with SS. Francis, John, and Catharine; after Correggio, ca. 1750
gollark: Modern compression would let me get thumbnail-type things down to extremely small sizes (smaller than the various bits of JS running comments and achievements and such), I just haven't gotten the art.
gollark: I have been.
gollark: People have still complained that it was hard to understand because of the dense and poorly organized text and lack of pictures.
gollark: I was obviously joking.
gollark: In what way?
