Nicolas Edelinck

Portrait of Gerard Edelinck by his son Nicolas

Nicolas Edelinck (1680-1768), the son of Gérard Edelinck, was born in Paris. Although he had the advantage of his father's instruction, and of studying in Italy, he never rose above mediocrity. He engraved some portraits, and a few plates for the Crozat Collection. He died in Paris in 1768. Among other prints by him are the following:
