About this work

A woman in a red skirt and green jacket floats midair, swinging from a rope held by a man in brown pants. Trees with thick trunks and bare branches surround them, and the sky above is a soft, pale blue. The woman wears a wide-brimmed hat, and the man looks up at her with one hand gripping the rope. The painting’s light comes mostly from above, leaving the background slightly blurred. The woman’s dress stands out against the muted greens and browns of the trees. Next, look up *Watteau, Antoine* to see how he painted everyday life with a dreamy touch.
