"Le Coucher de la Mariee" is an etching by French artist Jean Michel Moreau the Younger (1741-1814), currently held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. This detailed scene depicts the preparations for a wedding night, with the bride and groom surrounded by attendants and a lavishly decorated bedchamber. The use of light and shadow adds drama and intimacy to this quintessential Rococo scene, which was popularized by Moreau the Younger during his lifetime.
