N’ayez pas peur, petite ! ; Écosse XVIIIe siècle 1923

"N’ayez pas peur, petite !" (Don’t be afraid, little one!), is an illustration by French artist George Barbier, created in 1923. This Art Deco-style illustration showcases two figures dressed in traditional Scottish attire. The man, wearing a pink jacket and a plaid kilt, extends his hand toward a young woman draped in a blue plaid. The scene, likely inspired by Scottish folklore, is set against a backdrop of a rocky landscape and a distant castle. The work's vibrant colors and stylized forms are characteristic of Barbier's distinctive artistic style.
