A vertically oriented oil painting with soft brushstrokes depicts a woman with a light skin tone in a yellow gown and blue bodice on a swing. Left, a man with a light skin tone in a red coat pulls a rope. Hazy green trees and a distant steeple surround them. An ornate white border with blue scrolls and three birds, including a rooster at the top, frames the pastoral scene.
