The painting was completed in 1876. It is created on Impressionism style by use of genre painting genre during later years. The painting measures 41 x 23 centimeters and is in the Musée d’Orsay.

Description
Renoir's people seem to stand on a forest floor of blossoms. The girl on the swing could be fifteen, her pink dress with a hat on head increases the charm of painting.[1] The quivering light is rendered by the patches of pale colour, particularly on the clothing and the ground. This particularly annoyed the critics when the painting was shown at the Impressionist exhibition of 1877.[2]
