Ierre Drevet, The Elder (1663-1738) Was Born At Loire In The Lyonnais, The Son Of Estienne Drevet, And Began His Studies With Germain Audran In Lyons, Continuing Them With Gérard Audran In Paris. His Progress Was Rapid, And In 1696 He Was Made Court Engraver. In 1707 He Was Admitted To Membership In The Académie Des Beaux-Arts, His Reception Picture Being An Engraving Of Robert De Cotte.
