"Children Playing Blind Man's Buff" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard de Lairesse, created in the 17th century. This work of art depicts the timeless children's game known as "blind man's buff," where one player, blindfolded, attempts to catch the others around them. The painting is renowned for its dynamic composition and the way it captures the movement and joy inherent in the game. De Lairesse, who was born in Liège in 1641 and later settled in Amsterdam, is often associated with the classicist movement in Dutch art, which sought to emulate the ideals of classical antiquity.

In "Children Playing Blind Man's Buff," de Lairesse showcases his skill in portraying the human figure and his understanding of classical form. The painting is characterized by its use of light and shadow, which adds depth and realism to the scene. The expressions of the children, ranging from delight to anticipation, are rendered with particular attention to detail, reflecting de Lairesse's ability to convey complex emotions.

Gerard de Lairesse was also known for his theoretical contributions to art, including his treatise "Groot Schilderboek" which influenced artists and connoisseurs of his time. His works, including "Children Playing Blind Man's Buff," reflect the transition from the exuberant Baroque style to a more restrained and classical approach to painting. This piece is an exemplary representation of de Lairesse's artistry and the cultural milieu of the Dutch Golden Age. It remains an important work for study by art historians and enthusiasts alike, offering insight into the period's aesthetic values and the social context in which such games were a popular subject for artists.
