"Have No Fear, My Good Friend" (preparatory studies; Jean-Michel Moreau le jeune (French printmaker, 1741 - 1814)...; 1775; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 85.GG.416)

Note: Facing her across the couch, her friend leans forward and reassures her: "The moment [the birth] is over, you won't give it a thought. . . . I have had four children and am none the worse for it." The standing priest bolsters her with the words that form the drawing's title: "Have no fear, my good friend!." Jean-Michel Moreau le jeune made this drawing as a finished study for an engraving in the celebrated series Monument du costume of 1776. With a plot loosely structured around the childhood and early marriage of a young man, Moreau depicted a variety of events and illustrated the most fashionable clothing to wear for each.
