He was active during the French Revolution, and sat on the National Convention in 1792.[1]
In 1789, Sergent worked with engraver Marie Louise Marceau-Desgraviers, sister of the revolutionary general François Séverin Marceau, on a project to create portraits of the French legislative assembly.[2] Marceau later took the first name Emira (an anagram of Marie), and Sergent and Marceau married in 1795.[3]
