Jean-Michel Moreau, also known as Moreau le Jeune (the Younger), was a French artist, painter, illustrator and engraver.
He worked in the typical 18th-century Rococo style, creating paintings for later engraving, but most of his surviving work is book illustration. Moreau also created genre compositions on the entertainment of Louis XV and Madame Dubarry, later Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. He painted portraits of members of the royal family from life in charcoal, chalk and pastel.
Jean-Michel Moreau created a large body of work on period costumes, accurately reproducing their details, which is a valuable source for today's costume designers and art historians.
