Object description
The bust-length portrait of a young woman is depicted in a ¾ turn to the right against a dark green background. On her head is a black hat with a red ribbon and a brown feather, from which powdered hair is visible. A veil is draped over the woman's left shoulder. The Lviv City Gallery received this painting with a label: "Jean-Baptiste Pater, 'Head of a Lady in a Hat with a Feather'". Jean-Baptiste Pater (1695–1736) was a French Rococo painter and the son of the sculptor Antoine Pater. The artist worked in the popular genre of "fete galante", a genre in visual and decorative arts of the 18th century based on pastoral themes and the idealisation of scenes from secular courtly life. The main features of this genre – lyrical, idyllic moods, and eroticism – are present in the portrait of the young lady depicted in the painting.
