His work defined the visual language of the court of Louis XIV. He filled his compositions with scrolls and mythological figures. This approach created a sense of movement within static objects like his Decorative Urn or Design for a Pier Ornament. His etchings functioned as templates for woodworkers and masons across Europe. He translated the heavy stone forms of Roman antiquity into precise paper patterns.

Modern collectors value these etchings for their architectural precision. They offer a window into the formal aesthetics of French Baroque design. The monochrome nature of his etchings, such as the Mythological Landscape or Antique Relief, allows the structural forms to remain clear. These works suit contemporary interiors that favour classical proportions without the need for heavy colour palettes.
