Recreating Fragonard’s painting ‘The Swing’!

This evening I tried on the 18th century-style dress I’ve had made for the Historical Romance Retreat in Riverside next month . . .and decided it would be funny to recreate Fragonard’s painting ‘The Swing’!
As you do, on a boring Wednesday night.
What do you think?! The kids think I’ve lost may marbles! I’ve added a picture of Fragonard’s original, for comparison. I couldn’t find any handsome chaps to lie on the ground or give me a push, sadly. And the dismount was rather inelegant!
