Respuesta :

Fragonard’s the swing, which was commissioned by an unknown Patron, suggests the erotic interest of the artist’s aristocratic clientele.

The Swing, also known as The Happy Accidents of the Swing, is an 18th-century oil painting by Jean-Honoré Fragonard in the Wallace Collection in London.

The painting depicts a well-dressed young woman sitting on a swing. A smiling young man, hidden in the bushes below and to the left, points to his puffy dress with a hat in hand. A smiling old man, almost hidden in the shadows to his right, pushes the swing with a pair of ropes, while a small white dog barks nearby. The woman wears a shepherd's hat (chapeau de bergère), as she kicks her shoe with her outstretched left foot. There are two statues, one with a finger in front of his lips looking down at the young man on the left, the other with two putti lying on the right next to the old man. It depicts the erotic interest of the artist’s aristocratic clientele.
