The "Portrait of Antoine Watteau" is an 18th-century pastel artwork by the Venetian artist Rosalba Carriera, depicting the French painter Jean-Antoine Watteau. Renowned for her mastery in pastel technique, Carriera was a prominent figure in Rococo art and is credited with contributing to the spread of pastel painting in France during her time. This portrait is particularly significant as it captures Watteau, a fellow artist celebrated for his contribution to the Rococo movement, known for his fête galante scenes that often depicted the aristocracy in pastoral settings.

Created in 1721, the year of Watteau's death, the portrait is a testament to the mutual respect between the two artists and the cultural exchange that occurred between the Italian and French art scenes during the period. Carriera's work is characterized by its delicate and refined use of color, as well as its ability to convey the sitter's personality and mood. In this portrait, Watteau is presented in a contemplative pose, which may reflect his declining health at the time the portrait was made.

The "Portrait of Antoine Watteau" is not only an important work in Carriera's oeuvre but also serves as a valuable historical document, providing insight into the artistic milieu of the early 1720s. The portrait is housed in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden, Germany, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.

As a work that bridges two major centers of Rococo art, this portrait remains an important piece for understanding the cross-cultural influences and the personal connections between artists of the era. It is a prime example of Rosalba Carriera's skill in pastel portraiture and stands as a poignant reminder of Antoine Watteau's legacy in the history of art.
