He had three brothers: Robert, Jean-Baptiste, and Nicolas Bonnart. His son, Jean Baptiste Henri Bonnart, followed his father's profession, and died in 1726, aged about 48 years. In Perrault's Cabinet des Beaux- Arts, published in Paris in 1690, there is a plate of a ceiling ornamented with figures, which is probably by him. It is etched in a free, masterly style, finished with the graver, and marked "Jean Bonnart, Junior, del. Et sculpt."
