Antoine Pierre / Anthoine Pierre Hecquet

Life in context.

56. Antoine Pierre Hecquet (c. 1545–1596)
Geneawiki describes Antoine Pierre as a maître et marchand cordier in Abbeville, owner of a rope-making business and maritime-cordage trade. His commercial sign was described as a pelican feeding its young. He made a testament before his death during the plague year of 1596. This is one of the richest occupational portraits in the early line.
