Born in Paris in 1723, Pierre-Antoine Baudouin was an artist best known for his decorative oil and gouache paintings. Baudouin was a pupil and imitator of the French artist François Boucher (1703 – 1770), whose influence helped get Baudouin elected as an Academician at the French Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in 1763. Baudouin was and still is exhibited at the Louvre Museum as well as the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. He died in Paris in 1769.
