In this painting, a young woman in a blue dress and white apron is swinging on a rope swing, her feet pointed upwards. A man in a brown coat and hat is pushing her, holding the rope. The scene is set in a lush green landscape with trees and bushes. The woman's dress is flowing in the wind, and her hair is tied up in a bun. The man's face is blurred, but he appears to be smiling. The atmosphere is playful and carefree. This painting is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
