The personification of self-discovery by Jean-Charles François, 1760
François was born in Nancy. He was among the pioneers of the so-called "manière de crayon" ("crayon manner") of printmaking, which simulated the appearance of crayon and chalk drawings.[1] He was pensioned by King Louis XV of France, who employed him extensively. His most noted works represent Louis XV, Marie Leszczyńska, Pierre Bayle, Erasmus, John Locke, and Nicolas Malebranche.[1]
