-''The Swing'' by Fragonard is a rococo style painting and his most well known. This painting shows a young lady on a swing which happens to be a mistress of a high ranking official, being pushed by a bishop and the high ranking official observing her legs from beneath her. There are also two statures in the painting of cherub like beings, which one is suggesting the bishop behind the young lady to remain silent and the others are watching the lady from below. As a fine example of the rococo style with its pleasing color palette of pastel pink and mint green, the lighthearted mood, and the soft brush strokes.

 ==Study==
 The Study is a comfortable, boudoir-like room dedicated to the taste in the period of Queen Marie-Antoinette of France. An exceptional group of furniture owned by the Queen is surrounded by Sevres porcelain and other French decorative arts from the second half of the eighteenth century, when the new, more austere and linear Neo-classical supplanted the light airiness of the Rococo. Fragonard's and Greuze's paintings mark the same transition. The Study was Sir Richard Wallace's private room for writing letters and reading. This photograph c1890 shows that he had the room decorated with watercolours, whilst an impressive Boulle armoire was flanked by marble busts of Sir Richard's wife and his father the 4th Marquess of Hertford.

-The Small Drawing Room illustrates stylistic changes during the Regence and the early reign of Louis XV. Watteau had just introduced the Fete Galante to Paris, idealized scenes of elegant people in the county. This subject as well as his brilliantly painterly style, referring to Rubens and the Venetians, became immediately successful with contemporary collectors. Theater and music were major features of this new world. At the same time, East Asian objects and techniques such as lacquer and porcelain became highly popular. <br>

In Sir Richard Wallace's day, this room was titled the Reynolds Drawing Rooms. In it hung most of the superb paintings by Sir Joshua Reynolds in the Wallace Collection.

 The dining room is currently used to display French eighteenth-century portraits by Nattier and Houdon, as well as oil sketches by Jean-Francios de Troy. These masterworks were used for the decoration of Loius XV's dining room in Fontainebleau. As suggested by the title, the Dining Room was where Sir Richard and Lady Wallace would generally take their main meals. The doors to the Hall, the main entrance of the museum, were closed in 1897 but were reopened to enable visitors to walk through the house into the courtyard directly behind the Dining Room. <br>
 There are two marble busts in the room as well, one of Madame Victoire de France and one of Madame de Serilly. Madame Victoire de France, full name Marie-Louise-Therese-Victoire, was the daughter of Louis XV and the aunt of Louis XVI. She led a quiet life at Court, noted for her piety and appetite. During the French Revolution, she took refuge in Naples but was later forced to flee to Trieste, where she died. Madame de Serilly, full name Anne-Marie-Louise de Domangeville, married Antoine de Serilly, the Treasurer at the War Office, in 1779. During the French Revolution, they were accused of plotting to assist the King. All but Madame de Serilly were guillotined; she escaped by claiming she was pregnant.
