"L'escarpolette" (The Swing) is a notable 19th-century oil painting by French artist Henri Baron (1816–1885). Created in 1847, the painting is a quintessential example of the Romantic period, capturing a moment of carefree leisure and romantic flirtation. The artwork depicts a young woman seated on a swing in a lush garden setting, being pushed by a suitor, while an older woman, possibly a chaperone, looks on from the side. The scene is imbued with a sense of lightness and movement, as the swing's arc and the fluttering of fabrics convey the transient joy of the moment.

Baron, a student of the influential French painter Paul Delaroche, was known for his historical and genre paintings. "L'escarpolette" stands out in his oeuvre as a work that combines the detailed representation of nature and the human figure, characteristic of the academic art tradition, with the playful and sentimental themes popular in genre painting of the time. The painting's composition, with its diagonal lines and dynamic forms, adds to the sense of immediacy and the fleeting nature of the scene depicted.

While "L'escarpolette" may not be as widely recognized as some contemporaneous works by other artists, it is a significant piece that reflects the social customs and artistic tastes of the mid-19th century. The painting is a testament to Baron's skill in capturing the nuances of light and shadow, as well as his ability to convey narrative and emotion through visual art. It remains an important example of French Romantic painting and contributes to the understanding of the period's cultural and artistic context.
