Although mostly known as a sculptor, Chaudet did branch out in style and medium over the course of his career as an artist. Later in his life, he was involved in various collaborative art pieces. He collaborated on the 1801 print titled “Oeuvres de Jean Racine”, a major series of illustrations in Didot’s tribute to the author Racine that depict various famous scenes from the Bible. Chaudet also designed a hand fan made of paper, wood, and bone dating to the end of the 18th century alongside Pierre Francoise Leonard Fontaine and Charles Percier. Cataloged and held at the Louvre museum in Paris are numerous sketches of Chaudet’s that portray his early ideas for many of his most famous sculptures. There are several manuscript notes that have also survived that Chaudet used for notetaking and brainstorming during his commission work. He won the Prix de Rome in 1784 for his work titled Joseph Sold Into Slavery by his Brothers. He attended the Académie de France in Rome and was an active associate with the Académie Royale in 1789.

He married his pupil, the painter Jeanne-Elisabeth Chaudet.
