The See-Saw is a 1725 unspecified by Nicolas Lancret, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two people on a see-saw in a park. The woman on the left wears a blue dress and sits with one arm raised. The man on the right, in a red coat and wig, leans forward with his hands on the ground. Above them, birds and a squirrel perch on decorative frames, while trees and a statue loom in the background. The see-saw is set against a soft, dreamy landscape with light colors. The edges of the scene are framed by blue and gold patterns, adding a fancy touch.
