In it the younger See also:Janet is said to have " followed his father very closely in the See also:science of his See also:art." Like his father, he held the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of See also:groom of the chamber and painter in See also:ordinary to the king, and so far as See also:salary is concerned, he started where his father See also:left off

as the praises of See also:Francois Clouet were sung by the writers of the See also:day, his name was carefully preserved from reign to reign, and there is an See also:ancient and unbroken tradition in the attribution of many of his pictures
.
There are not, however, any See also:original attestations of his works, nor are any documents known which would See also:guarantee the ascriptions usually accepted
.
To him are attributed the portraits of See also:Francis I. at the Uffizi and at the Louvre, and various drawings See also:relating to them
.
He probably also painted the portrait of See also:Catherine de' See also:Medici at See also:Versailles and other works, and in all See also:probability a large number of the drawings ascribed to him were from his See also:hand
.
One of his most remarkable portraits is that of See also:Mary, See also:queen of Scots, a See also:drawing in chalks in the Bibliotheque Nationale, and of similar See also:character are the two portraits of See also:Charles IX. and the one at See also:Chantilly of See also:Marguerite of See also:France
.
Perhaps his masterpiece is the portrait of See also:Elizabeth of See also:Austria in the Louvre
.
He resided in See also:Paris in the See also:rue de Ste Avoye in the See also:Temple See also:quarter, See also:close to the Hotel de See also:Guise, and in 1568 is known to have been under the patronage of See also:Claude See also:Gouffier de Boisy, Seigneur d'See also:Oiron, and his wife Claude de Baune
.
Another ascertained fact concerning Francois Clouet is that in 1571 he was " summoned to the office of the See also:Court of the See also:Mint," and his See also:opinion was taken on the likeness to the king of a portrait struck by the mint

He died on the 22nd of December 1572, shortly after the See also:massacre of St See also:Bartholomew, and his will, mentioning his See also:sister and his two illegitimate daughters, and dealing with the disposition of a considerable amount of See also:property, is still in existence
.
His daughters subsequently became nuns
.
His work is remarkable for the extreme accuracy of the drawing, the elaborate finish of all the details, and the exquisite completeness of the whole portrait
.
He must have been a See also:man of high intelligence, and of great penetration, intensely interested in his work, and with considerable ability to represent the character of his sitter in his portraits
.
His colouring is perhaps not specially remarkable, nor from the point of See also:style can his pictures be considered specially beautiful, but in perfection of drawing he has hardly any equal
