Oil/canvas/wood, 114 x 89,5 cm, some rest. - Figure and history painter, Prussian court painter under three kings. P. was trained by his father and Charles de la Fosse, the court painter of Louis XIV. A scholarship enabled him to spend several years in Italy from 1705, before he was appointed court painter in Berlin in 1710 and later collaborated with Knobelsdorff in the decoration of the palaces he built, including Sanssouci Palace. With his intimate depictions of figures, oriented on Watteau, P. is not only a main representative of the Frederician, but also of the French Rococo.
