The Swing, 1735. Creator: Nicolas Lancret
The Swing, 1735.
The figures are arranged in groups around three trees whose trunks create a sense of depth due to the spaces visible between them and also determine the arrangement of the different scenes. The couples engaged in amorous flirtation in the foreground are followed by the principal motif of the swing in the middle-ground to the left. A woman, seated on the swing, is pushed by two men, one behind her and the other energetically pulling on a rope in the middle of the composition. The background includes more amorous couples seated around the edge of the fountain. The rhythms of the construction continue in minor details such as the two dogs at the lower right edge, one of which is barking furiously
