@studiousgal correctly guessed yesterday’s #MicroMonday! This is “The Swing” by Jean-Honoré Fragonard, c. 1767-1768, now in @WallaceMuseum. One of the most recognizable works of art from the 18th c, many consider it the epitome of rococo painting.
Today is our first #MicroMonday #challenge! Hopefully this first one will be easy. Can you identify this work of art from these details? #HECAA #c18 #arthistory #art
