The artist known as French 18th Century was active circa 1700, contributing to the graphic arts of the period. Documentation of their surviving works indicates a focus primarily on works on paper, particularly drawing and printmaking, although a single painting is also represented in collections.
Fifteen works attributed to this individual are currently held in museum collections, confirming the artist’s standing within established institutions. These works are preserved by the National Gallery of Art, providing a crucial record of artistic activity during the beginning of the century. The documented output includes nine drawings and five prints, alongside one painting.
Specific cataloged pieces showcase an interest in figure studies and thematic processions. These include the drawings A Boy Wearing a Military Cap and A Young Girl Wearing a Flowered Hat, as well as A Procession of the Madonna di San Luca. The title Alix malade is also represented in the database. The availability of high-quality prints and downloadable artwork derived from these holdings ensures continued scholarly access. As works from this period often fall into the public domain, French 18th Century paintings and prints remain accessible for study and reproduction.
