French Artist · 1695–1736

All works by this person →

Jean-Baptiste Pater followed his artistic role model and predominant inspiration, Jean-Antoine Watteau, in being born in Valenciennes and painting festive scenes. Pater first studied with a local painter and with his sculptor father before working briefly under Watteau in Paris. After Watteau's difficult temperament led to dismissal, Pater spent a few trying years before returning to Valenciennes.

From the Getty Museum record

Jean-Baptiste Pater modeled this figure and her voluminous dress with short, hatched lines. The down-to-earth woman reflects his strong interest in Flemish painting and the Flemish enthusiasm for depictions of the everyday life of common people. Like his mentor Jean-Antoine Watteau, Pater filled notebooks with studies of figures in varied poses and costumes for later use in his paintings. Pater made this characteristic red chalk drawing as a study for a mother and child in a now-lost painting showing troops resting in the countryside.
