Jean Petitot (July 12, 1607 – April 3, 1691) was a Swiss[1] enamel painter, who spent most of his career working for the courts of France and England.[2]
^According to the Historical Dictionary of Switzerland and to his biography, Jean Petitot was a citizen of the Republic of Geneva and served (1669-1684) as charge d’affaires of his government in Paris. In sources from outside of Switzerland his country of origin is sometimes (for instance in ULAN ) referred to as being Switzerland.
