(b Paris, c. 1650; d Paris, c. 1715). French engraver, draughtsman and print publisher. The first prints he executed were vignettes for L’Esope du temps by M. L. S. Desmay, published in 1677. His last piece was a portrait of Thomas (Old) Parr, engraved in 1715. Habert was an engraver of average talent who produced almost exclusively portraits, mostly after painters, such as Philippe de Champaigne, Charles Le Brun, Nicolas de Largillierre, Pierre Mignard and Hyacinthe Rigaud; he did, however, occasionally execute portraits from his own drawings from life, such as Elisabeth-Charlotte d’Orléans, Duchesse de Guise (1678; see Weigert, no. 109). In all, he engraved nearly 200 pieces. His wife, Madeleine Masson (c. 1646–1713), was herself an engraver; she was the sister or some other relation of Antoine Masson, whom Habert greatly admired, and who published some of his portraits. Habert also engaged in publishing, but he seems to have published mainly his own works.
