"The First Lesson" is a painting by Dutch artist Albert Neuhuys (1844–1914), known for his depiction of rural life in the Netherlands during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Neuhuys was associated with the Laren School, a group of artists who worked in or were inspired by the village of Laren in North Holland, and he was particularly noted for his intimate genre scenes of peasant families.

In "The First Lesson," Neuhuys captures a tender moment within a domestic interior, a common theme in his work. The painting typically features a mother or an older sibling teaching a young child, possibly illuminating the importance of education and family values in Dutch society at the time. The artwork is characterized by its warm tones and the play of light, which highlights the expressions and the interaction between the figures, as well as the textures of their clothing and the rustic interior.

As with many of Neuhuys' paintings, "The First Lesson" is appreciated for its ability to convey the simplicity and charm of rural life, along with the emotional depth of everyday moments. The artist's work is often compared to that of the Hague School painters, who also focused on the Dutch countryside and its inhabitants, although Neuhuys' style is distinguished by a more sentimental and anecdotal quality.

"The First Lesson" is emblematic of Neuhuys' oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of the genre painting tradition in the Netherlands. It is a work that not only offers insight into the artist's personal style and thematic preferences but also reflects broader social and cultural themes of the period in which it was created.
