"First Kiss" is a painting by French academic artist Émile Munier (1840–1895), known for his depictions of children, genre scenes, and allegorical subjects. Created in 1882, this work exemplifies Munier's delicate and sentimental portrayal of childhood innocence. The painting features two young children in a pastoral setting, engaging in a tender and innocent embrace that suggests their first kiss. The boy, adorned in rustic attire, gently holds a bouquet of flowers, possibly a gift for the girl, who receives his affection with a coy and bashful demeanor.

The composition is rendered with fine detail and soft, harmonious colors that enhance the romantic and idyllic quality of the scene. Munier's skillful use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to the textural contrasts of fabric and flora, contribute to the overall charm and warmth of the painting.

"First Kiss" reflects the 19th-century artistic movement of Academicism, where artists adhered to the standards of the French Académie des Beaux-Arts and often depicted idealized and often sentimental subjects. Munier's work was well-received in his time, and he exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon, the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

The painting remains a testament to Munier's ability to capture the nuances of human emotion and the beauty of everyday moments. "First Kiss" continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and as an example of Munier's contribution to the genre of Academic art. It is held in private collections and has been reproduced in various forms, allowing its romantic representation of childhood to be enjoyed by a wide audience.
