"Lamentation Over the Death of the First-Born of Egypt" is a notable painting by the American artist Charles Sprague Pearce (1851–1914). Created in 1877, this work is an exemplar of Pearce's engagement with Orientalist themes, a popular subject among European and American artists during the 19th century. The painting depicts a poignant scene from the biblical account of the tenth plague of Egypt, as described in the Book of Exodus, where the first-born sons of the Egyptians are slain as a divine punishment, while the children of Israel are spared.

Pearce, who was known for his academic style and meticulous attention to detail, captures the raw emotion and despair of the Egyptian parents in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy. The work is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, which serves to enhance the somber mood and the intensity of the subject matter. The artist's choice to focus on the human aspect of the biblical story, rather than the supernatural event itself, invites viewers to empathize with the depicted figures, regardless of the historical and cultural distance.

The painting is a testament to Pearce's skill in historical and genre painting, and it reflects the broader 19th-century fascination with biblical and exotic themes. "Lamentation Over the Death of the First-Born of Egypt" is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its cultural and historical implications, offering insight into the ways in which American artists of the period engaged with and interpreted ancient narratives.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is part of a private collection or a museum's holdings, and it has been exhibited and studied in the context of American art history and Orientalism. The work contributes to the understanding of Pearce's oeuvre and the broader trends in American and European art during the late 19th century.
