An anecdote in Charles Colle's memoirs describes how Gabriel Doyen refused the commission for this painting. Its ultimate creator's posing of the central characters in this painting looks suspiciously like Adam and God in the Sistine Chapel ceiling, while the rake lying in the foreground is one of many euphemisms within. The man in the background is supposed to be a priest, and the marble statue on the left sits with a finger raised to its lips, watching a flying shoe. The man's doffed hat and women's frilly dress represents certain parts of the anatomy, and the man at the lower left has a good view of the dress's contents. FTP, identify this painting of a woman at the apex of her ride on the titular item, a rococo work of Jean Fragonard.
