Dolphus, from the Icon Comics guide, i have no other info.

jean jaaues leque's and we too shall be mothers, because...

post revoultionary, obv anti clerical, and of a french tradition of anti clerical work, more interesting for a couple of reasons
1) the woman looks so much like a building, the edges, and angles, and spheres, how he makes buildings is how he made this woman
2) how she unveils her breasts, is a way to unviel the church, a call towards honesty, and also, a way of moving the fuctionalism away from marys (and womens breasts)
3) and also, him calling it we too shall be mothers, is a kind of misogynst message, he is still buying that women can be mothers or nuns, and by that extension eroticises the breast as feeder tube, making it no different than medevial madonnas, manguel writes about it in his book on art, reading pictures:
"it is no doubt that this erotic motherhood that the french architect JJL had in mind when he convieved an etching calling for the emancipation of nuns in 1794. Wishing to ally himself to the recent legislation of the French Reboulton that had confiscated ecclestical propeorty and baned all monastic vows (while at the same time appointing new church authorities elected by the assembly rather than by the French crown) Lequea became one of the advertising artsits for the republic. The title of his ethcing, strongly subversive adn highly popular...the timplied answer was self evident: beause teh erotic breast can lead back to the image of the nursing Mother...
47/8 (so maybe he is pointing out the obv., claiming what has been forever assumed, or if not forever assumed, at least assumed since Foquet painted the kings mistress as the ultimate virgin)
