French school; Genre, interiors, and still-life painter; pupil of Cazes, and of Noël Nicolas Coypel, who employed him to paint accessories and led him to adopt the style in which he was destined to excel. First attracted attention by a barber's sign, then in 1728 by La Raie (Louvre); admitted to Academy in 1728; treasurer in 1755. Long painted still-life, in which he has never been excelled.
