 Natter himself does not mention visiting the Netherlands, but he was patronised by William IV of Orange and his family, and made for them portraits in intaglio and portrait-medals.At this period Natter was attacked by Pierre-Jean Mariette in "Traité des pierres gravées" (1750), as a self-conscious forger.During Natter's two visits to England he was patronised by the royal family, and in 1741 made the medal "Tribute to George II".
