He completed some of the plates left unfinished by the latter, and himself executed a few in the line manner. But at an early period he turned to mezzotints.
A portrait of Jean-Baptiste Monnoyer, which he executed in this style from a painting by Godfrey Kneller, was much admired and brought him work. He died at his house in Bloomsbury on 27 May 1732.
