"La Bonne Mère" is an engraving by Nicolas de Launay, a French engraver and draughtsman born in Paris in 1739. The work is based on a painting by Jean-Baptiste Greuze, a French artist known for his sentimental and moralizing genre paintings. "La Bonne Mère" translates to "The Good Mother" in English, and it exemplifies the Rococo style's transition to more sentimental themes that were prevalent in the latter half of the 18th century.

The engraving depicts an intimate domestic scene, where a mother is seen caring for her children, showcasing the virtues of maternal love and domesticity. This subject was particularly popular in the period, reflecting societal values that idealized the family and the role of the mother as a moral compass and caregiver. The artwork captures the tender emotions and the moral narrative that Greuze's paintings were celebrated for, and Launay's skillful engraving technique preserves the painterly qualities of the original work.

Nicolas de Launay was renowned for his engravings after other artists, and his works were widely disseminated, contributing to the popularity of the artists he engraved after, such as Greuze. "La Bonne Mère" is a fine example of Launay's craftsmanship and the collaborative nature of printmaking in the 18th century, which played a crucial role in the diffusion of artistic styles and themes across Europe.

The engraving is a testament to the era's cultural and artistic values, and it remains an important work for understanding the intersection of art, family, and morality in pre-revolutionary France. It is held in various art collections and has been the subject of scholarly study in the context of the history of printmaking and the social history of art.
