"Jacques de Lajoue – a French architectural painter, was born in 1687. He became a member of the Academy in 1721 [the year of Watteau's death], and is noticed for a 'Perspective' which he executed in 1732 at the Library of St. Geneviève. He also designed the title-page to the works of Wouwerman. Etchings have been made after him by Cochin, Tardieu, and others. He died in Paris in 1761."
