Gilles-Antoine Demarteau (1750 - 1802) After Edmé Bouchardon (1698 - 1762)

Head of a Venerable Man

To prevent any misunderstanding, Gilles-Antoine Demarteau (1750 - 1802) was Gilles Demarteau's (1722 - 1776) nephew. 

He became an engraver and took over his uncle's workshop.

The Cat’s Repast

Origin: France, 1778 or 1779. Description: A fine young woman gives her fluffy white cat a meal of milk in this hand-colored engraving on ivory laid paper. The artist, Gilles Antoine Demarteau (the Younger), is less well-known than the uncle who he was named after and whose workshop he would eventually take over. Modeled after the work of Jean-Baptiste Huet. Maintained by the Art Institute of Chicago, but not on display. (
