"Her First Catch" is a painting by French artist Alfred Guillou, created in 1885. The work is a genre painting, a form of art that depicts scenes of everyday life, and it showcases Guillou's skill in capturing the essence of coastal and maritime life, which is a recurring theme in his oeuvre. The painting portrays a young girl, presumably a fisherman's daughter, proudly displaying her first catch. The scene is likely set in Concarneau, Brittany, where Guillou lived and worked for much of his life, and which was known for its fishing industry.

The painting is notable for its fine detail, the play of light and shadow, and the realistic representation of the figures and the sea, which reflect Guillou's academic training and his focus on realism. "Her First Catch" is emblematic of Guillou's work during the late 19th century, a period in which he gained recognition for his depictions of Breton fishermen and their families. The artwork captures not only a personal achievement for the young girl but also reflects the broader cultural and social significance of fishing in the coastal communities of Brittany.

"Her First Catch" has been appreciated for its narrative quality and its ability to evoke emotion, as well as for its technical proficiency. The painting is a testament to Guillou's dedication to portraying the lives of ordinary people with dignity and respect, and it remains an important example of genre painting in the context of French art history. The work is held in private collections or museums, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and cultural significance.
