''The Swing'' (French: ''L'Escarpolette''), also known as ''The Happy Accidents of the Swing'' (French: ''Les Hasards heureux de l'escarpolette''), is a quintessential Rococo painting by French artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard, completed circa 1767. Celebrated for its elaborate and whimsical style, the painting is an iconic example of the frivolity and eroticism that characterized Rococo art. It depicts a young woman on a swing, pushed by an older man in the shadows, while a younger man, hidden in the foliage, watches from a vantage point where he can see up her billowing dress.

Commissioned by the Baron de Saint-Julien, this masterpiece of 18th-century French art was originally intended to portray the Baron himself swinging his mistress, with her husband pushing the swing. However, Fragonard chose to depict the lover in the bushes, adding a layer of intrigue and illicit romance to the scene. The woman's carefree attitude, the flying shoe, and the statues that witness the scene all contribute to the painting's playful and sensual atmosphere.

The composition's dynamic movement, the lush garden setting, and the use of light to highlight the central figure and her fluttering garments are characteristic of Fragonard's virtuoso brushwork and his ability to capture the essence of an ephemeral moment. ''The Swing'' is not only a testament to the artist's technical skill but also to the hedonistic culture of the French aristocracy before the Revolution.

Today, ''The Swing'' is held in the Wallace Collection in London and remains one of Fragonard's most famous and frequently referenced works, embodying the joy and indulgence of the Rococo period. Its influence extends beyond the world of art, having inspired various adaptations and homages in literature, film, and other visual arts.
