Les Hazards heureux de l'Escarpolettes (The Swing)

Nicolas Delaunay after Jean-Honoré Fragonard and Pierre-Philippe Choffard

National Gallery of Art

This is a print of a garden scene with three people. In the center is an elegantly dressed woman on a swing. She is facing the right and wearing a flowing gown with a low neckline, a ruffle around her neck, and a plumed hat. She is holding the ropes of the swing and kicking her feet up, and one of her shoes is flying off of her outstretched foot. Behind her on the left, a man is holding long ropes connected to the swing, and on the right a man lays on the ground below the woman. Both men have white hair that curls around their ears, and they wear jackets with white cravats and have black hats near them. Surrounding these three people is a garden with lush, leafy plants and several statues of cherubic figures. Below the print is a line of text and a design that looks like a shield or emblem.
