The Swing

This painting was executed during or just after the period in which Fragonard was a pupil of Boucher, whose influence is apparent both in its subject matter and technique. Years later, Fragonard would paint another work with the same title but of a very different character, in which the subject's eroticism is made obvious. That painting (now in the Wallace Collection, London) has become one of his most famous.
