Biography
| John Collet,a painter of low life subjects. The artist was born in London. He died there August 6th 1780. He studied at St. Martin's Lane Academy and was a pupil of Lambert. He exhibited every sort of picture at the FS 1761-1780. Some of his pictures are rustic landscapes, but his speciality was rather vulgar scenes of urban low life Female bruisers and The recruiting sergeant, many of which were popularized by engravings by Goldar.
