Jean-Baptiste Joseph Pater – The Fair at Bezons – The Metropolitan Museum of Art https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/437257
Pater, born in Valenciennes, was apprenticed to a local painter in 1706. A contemporary would later report that his father sent him to Paris to study with Jean Antoine Watteau (1684–1721): probably the two painters left Valenciennes together in late 1709 or 1710
