Springtime (Pierre Auguste Cot)

Springtime is an oil on canvas painting by French artist Pierre Auguste Cot, from 1873.

It is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York.

[1] In terms of the painting itself, Cot's work depicts a young couple locked in an embrace on a swing amid a forest or garden.

The two are wearing classical garb, and are seemingly enthralled by each other, described by one source as "drunken with first love".
