"Watteau died young, but the overtones, the fragrance, of his unconventional art were imitated by several skillful painters. Jean-Baptiste Pater (1695-1736) is considered Watteau's sole disciple, since he briefly worked under the master. Pater was fully conversant with the resources of the fête galante genre, yet managed to render it stereotypical."
– from André Chastel's French Art, translated by Deke Dusinberre (Flammarion, 1996)
