"The See-Saw" is an 1872 genre painting by the prominent American artist Winslow Homer. Known for his landscapes, marine subjects, and scenes of everyday life, Homer's work often reflects a deep understanding of human character and the American experience. "The See-Saw" is no exception, capturing a moment of play and innocence through the depiction of children engaged in the timeless activity of see-sawing.

The painting, executed in oil on canvas, measures 12 3/4 x 19 3/4 inches (32.4 x 50.2 cm) and is part of the collection at the Terra Foundation for American Art, Daniel J. Terra Collection. It showcases Homer's skill in portraying light and movement, as well as his ability to convey a narrative through visual means. The composition is balanced and dynamic, with the see-saw acting as a central axis around which the children's enjoyment revolves.

In "The See-Saw," Homer's use of color and brushwork creates a lively scene that is both idyllic and evocative of rural American life in the late 19th century. The artwork is characteristic of Homer's early style, which often included scenes of children at play, reflecting a nostalgia for the simplicity and innocence of youth. As with many of Homer's paintings, "The See-Saw" is appreciated for its contribution to American realism and for providing insight into the social and cultural fabric of the time.

This painting is a fine example of Winslow Homer's work during a period when he was transitioning from his earlier career as an illustrator to becoming one of the foremost painters in American art. "The See-Saw" is often discussed in the context of Homer's broader oeuvre, contributing to the understanding of his artistic development and the themes that permeated his work throughout his career.
