Jacques Fabien Gatitier-D' Agoty adapted the three-plate color printing process invented around 1715 by adding a fourth plate inked in black or bistre to render tonal values more easily. Gautier made only ten reproductions of others' works. In January 1743, he offered two color prints of The Tapestry Worker and The Young Draftsman after two paintings by Chardin shown in the Salon of 1738 (now in the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm).
