DescriptionA red wooden swing is supported on wire between two white rectangular fluted columns with ball finials. On the swing are a man, dressed in a green shirt and gray pants, and a woman, dressed in a yellow gown, made of composition. The columns stand at either end of a rectangular box base painted green on top and red on the sides. A wire crank protrudes from the right short end. When the crank is turned, the swing moves back and forth.
