Jacques Firmin Beauvarlet

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. He married again in 1770, but became for a second time a widower in 1779. Eight years later, in 1787, he married Marie Catherine Riollet, who, like his first wife, was an engraver. Beauvarlet himself died in Paris in 1797.
