About the Item

The painting (oil on canvas 80 x 106 cm; with Salvador Rosa-style gilded frame 88 x 116 cm) depicts a group of four children who are playing outside on a swing; we are probably dealing with a prank, as can be seen by the satisfied expression of the child on the right at the expense of the one in the foreground, who seems to be supported by the others, perhaps because of the fear felt. They are dressed in the same way, with black or brown ankle boots and a kind of double-breasted jumpsuit with a rich lace collar reminiscent of the jabots of dames, blue for the one in the foreground, brick-colored for the other three. Children also look alike in the hair, typical of the period, and features, suggesting a kinship relationship. We find the same subject, for example, in Johann Zoffany's 1770 paintings "The Lavie Children" and in Goya's 1790 "The Swing."
