Jan Drapentier
Jan Drapentier (
fl.
1674–1713), was an engraver.
Drapentier was the son of D. Drapentier or Drappentier, a native of
seven bishops
, and others.
He is probably identical with the Johannes Drapentier who by his wife, Dorothea Tucker, was father of a son Johannes, baptised at the Dutch Church, Austin Friars, on 7 October 1694. He was largely employed in engraving views of the country seats of the gentry, &c., in
treaty of Utrecht in 1713. He also engraved an allegorical broadside commemorating the latter event. An engraving of the House of Commons
in 1690 is signed 'F. Drapentier sculpsit.'
