Antoine Watteau – Mezzetin – The Metropolitan Museum of Art https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437926
Watteau, the son of a roofer, left Valenciennes for Paris about 1702 to work there as a copyist and assistant to Claude Gillot (1673–1722) and Claude III Audrun (1658–1734). He became interested in theater and fell under the spell of Peter Paul Rubens (1577–1640)
