The Rococo art style is very happy and carefree. Very flirtatious and dream like the painting's have a airy look. Many of the scenes show parties or people having fun. Normally the people in the pictures depicted are of upper class citizens dress in very elaborate clothing.
The Swing by Fragonard
The picture to the side is a seen a a woman in beautiful clothing being pushed on a swing by a man who might be her husband or suitor of sorts. Then in front of the swing a man in laying in the grass looking up the woman skirt as she is looking down at him. She might be seeing him or her side man. But there is obviously some attracted to each other.
This painting is called the Embarkation to Cythera by Antoine Watteau. This paintings shows a group of people either going or coming back from the island Cythera which is legend to be the home of Venus the goddess of love.
