"Blind Man's Buff" (Spanish: "La gallina ciega") is an oil on canvas painting created in 1789 by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes. This work is part of a series of tapestry cartoons that Goya produced for the Royal Tapestry Factory of Santa Bárbara in Madrid, intended to decorate the walls of the El Escorial and El Pardo palaces. The painting measures 269 cm by 350 cm and is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.

The painting depicts a popular children's game known as "blind man's buff," where one player is blindfolded and attempts to catch the others. Goya captures a moment of lively interaction among a group of elegantly dressed young men and women, set against a serene and expansive landscape. The figures are arranged in a circular composition, emphasizing the dynamic and playful nature of the scene. The central figure, blindfolded and reaching out, becomes the focal point, drawing the viewer's eye into the action.

Goya's use of light and color in "Blind Man's Buff" is particularly noteworthy. The artist employs a warm palette, with soft, diffused lighting that enhances the idyllic and joyful atmosphere of the scene. The detailed rendering of the figures' clothing and expressions showcases Goya's keen observational skills and his ability to convey the subtleties of human interaction.

This painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural context. It reflects the Enlightenment ideals of the time, emphasizing the importance of leisure and social interaction in the lives of the Spanish aristocracy. Additionally, "Blind Man's Buff" offers insight into the customs and pastimes of 18th-century Spain, providing a valuable historical record.

Goya's tapestry cartoons, including "Blind Man's Buff," played a crucial role in his artistic development, allowing him to experiment with composition, color, and subject matter. These works laid the foundation for his later, more mature pieces, where he would delve deeper into themes of human nature and social critique.
