Les Hazards heureux de l'Escarpolettes (The Swing) is a 1782 ink by Nicolas Delaunay, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In the image, a woman in a dress is swinging on a rope swing, surrounded by lush greenery and trees. She is holding onto the ropes and looking upwards, with her dress flowing behind her. The scene is set in a natural environment, with the woman being the central figure. The woman's facial expression is serene, and her body language conveys a sense of freedom and joy. The surrounding foliage adds to the sense of tranquility and peacefulness in the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of carefree abandon, with the woman lost in the moment. If you're interested in exploring more works from the same movement, you might want to look into Romanticism.
Nicolas Delaunay (1739–1792) was a French artist, born in Paris.
