"Un Premier Chagrin" (English: "A First Sorrow") is a notable work by the French painter Jean-Baptiste Greuze, who was renowned for his genre paintings and portraiture that often carried moral themes or sentimental narratives. Created in the 18th century, this painting exemplifies Greuze's skill in capturing the emotional subtleties of domestic life and the moral lessons inherent within them.

The painting depicts a young girl in a moment of emotional distress, capturing the innocence and the poignant experience of a first sorrow. Greuze's ability to portray the vulnerability and the tender age of his subject contributes to the painting's evocative power. The artist's focus on the girl's expression and the subdued use of color enhance the dramatic impact of the scene, inviting viewers to empathize with the subject's experience.

As a representative of the French Enlightenment, Greuze's works, including "Un Premier Chagrin," often reflect the period's interest in the exploration of human emotion and virtue. His genre paintings were particularly influential in the development of narrative painting in France, and they were celebrated for their didactic qualities and their appeal to the sensibilities of the burgeoning middle class.

"Un Premier Chagrin" is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its emotional resonance, marking it as a significant contribution to the oeuvre of Jean-Baptiste Greuze and to the genre of French sentimental painting. The work is emblematic of the artist's capacity to blend the aesthetic with the moral, a characteristic that defined much of his artistic legacy.
