The See-Saw

Nicolas Lancret

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a man and woman on a see-saw. The woman on the left side wears a blue dress with a white collar and cuffs and brown shoes. The man on the right wears a red jacket, white shirt, beige hat, and tan stockings. The background shows a forest scene with trees. A white sky is visible through the trees. The border is ornate with blue lines, flowers, leaves, and blue and red birds sitting on scroll-like designs. A squirrel is perched on a similar design at the top centre.
