Description

The Swing, also known as The Happy Accidents of the Swing is an 18th-century oil painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard. It is considered to be one of the masterpieces of the Rococo era, and is Fragonard's best known work.

Inside a lush garden, a young woman in a billowing pink gown glides through the air. Her suspension high above the ground is enabled by a swing consisting of a crimson velvet cushioned seat and a pair of ropes tied around the knobby branches of an enormous tree. On the far right, an older man helps operate the device. Probably the old husband of the woman. At the base of the large pedestal supporting this sculpture lies a young man. Partially hidden by an overgrown rose bush. Probably the woman's secret lover. As old man releases the ropes, she leans back and extends her legs, expelling a tiny pink slipper from her pointed foot. The dainty shoe flies through the air toward a marble statue on the far left. The slipper is flying towards the secret lover, which means that the woman's heart is not with her old husband, but with the young lover.
