BEAUVARLET, Jacques-Firmin
BEAUVARLET, Jacques-Firmin – Jacques Firmin Beauvarlet, a celebrated engraver, was born at Abbeville in 1731. He went to Paris when young, and was instructed in the art by Charles Dupuis and Laurent Cars. His early engravings were bold and free. Later, he developed a more finished and highly-wrought style of prints, executed with great neatness and delicacy.
