Son of Antoine Joseph Pater, master sculptor, and Jeanne Elisabeth de Fontaine, he was first a pupil of his father who taught him sculpture. He abandoned sculpture in favor of painting to join, in 1706, a painter from the guild of Saint-Luc in Valenciennes, Jean-Baptiste Guide. Around 1709-1711, Antoine Watteau, being back in Valenciennes, his father entrusted him to the master of whom he painted a portrait. Having moved to Paris, he worked with the latter, before Watteau's difficult character led them to separate in 1713.He returns to Valenciennes, and tries to make a career there, but meets the opposition of the corporation of Saint-Luc of the city which wants to prevent him from doing so because he is not one of its members. He therefore resumed his journey to the capital when, in 1720, seized with remorse at the very end of his life, Watteau asked him to be with him, during the last month he had left to live, in order to give him his last advice.
