Léonard Gaultier, or, as he sometimes signs himself, Galter, a French engraver, was born at Mainz about 1561, and died in Paris in 1641.〔Franz Brulliot, ''Dictionnaire des monogrammes, marques figurées, lettres initiales, noms abrégés etc: avec lesquels les peintres, dessinateurs, graveurs et sculpteurs ont désigné leurs noms'', J.G. Cotta, 1832〕 His style of work resembles that of Wierix and Crispyn van de Passe. His prints are executed entirely with the graver, with great precision, but in a stiff, formal manner. He must have been very laborious, as the Abbé de Marolles possessed upwards of eight hundred prints by him, many of which were after his own designs. They consist of portraits, and various subjects, of which the following are the most worthy of notice. They are sometimes signed with his name, and sometimes with a cipher GL. ==Portraits== *''Henry IV of France''. *''Henry, Duke of Montpensier''. *''J.
