* Desnoyers J (active 1819):

miniature painter. Probably identical to Jean-François Langin-Desnoyers (Versailles 1776-1846) who is reported by Thieme and Becker and Bénézit in Paris and Rennes. Perhaps related to the engraver Desnoyers in Paris. (Reference p. 195 The Painters in Miniature by N. Lemoine-Bouchard)
