Andries Vaillant (1655 in Amsterdam – 1693 in Berlin), was a Dutch Golden Age engraver and artist.
According to Houbraken he learned to draw from his oldest brother Wallerant Vaillant and then travelled to Paris to learn engraving.[1] From there he travelled to Berlin to visit his brother Jacques, where he died young.[1]
