As a member of L'Academie des Sciences et des Beaux-Arts since 1698, he showcased his immense talent and creativity through various mediums.

Not limited to portraying emotions alone, Le Clerc also immortalized historical events such as Louis XIV's visit to the Hotel de Ville on the occasion of his recovery. His ability to capture grandeur and significance is exemplified by this piece. Furthermore, as an ambassador of Siam before Louis XIV, Le Clerc documented cultural exchanges between nations during that time period. The engravings titled "Mouvement de douleur" and "Douleur aigue de corps et d'Esprit" reflect both physical pain and mental anguish experienced by individuals across borders. Le Clerc's dedication towards honoring influential figures can be seen through works like the allegorical medal created in honor of Louis XIV. This testament showcases not only his technical skills but also his admiration for those who shaped history. Amongst other notable creations are "Le Colère, " showcasing passion at its peak from Caractères des Passions; "Le Pleurer" and "Mouvement Composé, " which explore complex emotional states; and the funeral monument dedicated to Charles V, Duke of Lorraine – a poignant tribute found within Les Actions Glorieuses.
