From the collection of Philadelphia Museum of Art
The Seesaw (1791) is a 1796 oil by Francisco Goya, a Rococo painting work, held at Philadelphia Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a lively scene of five young boys playing on a seesaw, with one boy in the air and another about to jump off. The boys are dressed in colorful clothing, with one wearing a yellow jacket and another in a red jacket. The background is a soft, muted color, which helps to focus attention on the playful scene. The artist has used bold brushstrokes and vivid colors to capture the energy and movement of the boys as they play. The composition is dynamic, with the seesaw forming a diagonal line that draws the viewer's eye through the painting. The painting is a beautiful example of the artist's work, and it can be found at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
