About the piece
Painted around 1730 by Jean-Baptiste Pater, this classic 'fête galante' depicts a group of fashionably dressed figures enjoying a leisure moment in a wooded park. The scene is characterized by its soft, atmospheric lighting and rhythmic composition, typical of the style pioneered by Pater’s master, Antoine Watteau, and preserved in the Samuel H. Kress Collection.
