Summary:
A woman sits on half a porch swing, the back of which is adorned with heart-shaped cut-outs. She has long, straight hair and wears a dress, somewhat blown by a breeze. The woman's proper right arm extends across the back of the swing and her proper left hand grasps the rope holding the swing aloft. Her proper right leg bends beneath the swing and her proper left leg stretches beyond the base.
