{"product_id":"the-swing-edward-goodall","title":"The Swing - Edward Goodall","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed nineteenth-century engraving by Edward Goodall, depicting a group of children playing on a swing within a parkland setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis engraving, titled The Swing, captures a scene of leisure and social interaction within a wooded parkland. Edward Goodall, a skilled engraver and painter, demonstrates his technical proficiency through the fine lines and varied tonal range present in this monochrome work. The composition centres on a group of children and young people engaged in play, with one girl seated on a swing while another figure pushes her. The surrounding group sits on the grass, observing the activity, which creates a sense of quiet domesticity typical of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe setting features mature trees with textured bark and foliage that frame the figures, providing a sense of depth and enclosure. The background reveals a glimpse of a distant estate, suggesting a setting within the grounds of a country house. Goodall employs a delicate hatching technique to define the folds of the clothing and the play of light across the scene. The work reflects the nineteenth-century interest in depicting scenes of childhood innocence and pastoral recreation. As an engraver, Goodall was known for his ability to translate the nuances of oil paintings into the medium of print, often working for publishers such as James S. Virtue. This particular print originates from the collection of James Fallows, Esq., as noted in the lower margin. The attention to detail in the costumes and the naturalistic rendering of the figures provide a window into the social conventions of the era. The print maintains a balanced composition, directing the viewer's eye from the foreground activity towards the open space in the distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/thou-hast-fulfilled-the-judgment-of-the-wicked-william-blake\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThou Hast Fulfilled the Judgment of the Wicked - William Blake — William Blake\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portret-van-hendrik-i-de-keyser-dirk-jurriaan-sluyter\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortret van Hendrik (I) de Keyser - Dirk Jurriaan Sluyter — Dirk Jurriaan Sluyter\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edward Goodall","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58596265066831,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58596317364559,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58596317397327,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58596317430095,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58596317462863,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58596317495631,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58596317528399,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58596317561167,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58596317593935,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58596317626703,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58596317659471,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58596317692239,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Swing_Poster_CompositorV1_1787967667129.jpg?v=1787969131","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/the-swing-edward-goodall","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
