François Marie Isidore Queverdo

François Marie Isidore Queverdo was an artist active across four decades, documented between 1748 and 1788. The majority of his extant documented output consists of prints and engraved volumes.

Queverdo's work is represented in major American institutions, establishing his importance within 18th-century collecting history. Museum collections hold five of his individual prints and one volume, including works such as the allegorical subject Allegory in Honor of Henri IV, and genre scenes like L'indiscret and Nouvelles du bien-aimè. His contributions to literature and illustration are noted by the inclusion of the volume La Dernière Héloïse: ou, Lettres de Junie (Part I and Part II), confirming his role in the publishing industry of the period.

The authority of his practice is evidenced by the preservation of his work in permanent collections, specifically the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art.
