Charles-Nicolas Cochin I
Charles-Nicolas Cochin the Elder was a French painter and line engraver.
Charles-Nicolas Cochin the Elder painted until the age of twenty-two, and then devoted himself entirely to engraving. In 1731 he became an academician, and on the occasion of his reception engraved portraits of Jacques Sarracen and Estache Le Sueur. He then turned his attention to the fanciful subjects of Watteau, Lancret, and Chardin, after which he executed several fine works.
