Alexandre-François Desportes
1661–1743
(b Champigneulle [Champigneulle-en-Argonne], nr. Varennes, 24 Feb. 1661; d Paris, 20 Apr. 1743). French painter, mainly of animal and still-life subjects. In his early career he worked much as a portraitist, notably in 1695–6 at the court of Jan Sobieski (John III) in Poland, but on his return to France he took up subjects related to the hunt, especially pictures of dogs with dead game.
