"First Steps" is a renowned painting by Jozef Israëls, a Dutch artist who was a leading figure of the Hague School, known for his realistic portrayals of the Dutch peasantry and fishermen. The painting is emblematic of Israëls' empathetic approach to his subjects, often imbued with a sense of sentimentality and social consciousness.

The artwork depicts a tender moment in a domestic setting, where a mother is seen guiding her young child's first steps. The scene is rendered with a soft, subdued palette, which was characteristic of Israëls' later works, reflecting the influence of the French Barbizon School and its focus on the effects of light and atmosphere. The brushwork in "First Steps" is loose and impressionistic, capturing the fleeting moment with emotional resonance.

"First Steps" is significant for its portrayal of a universal human experience, highlighting the intimate bond between parent and child. Israëls' ability to convey the weight of such moments without resorting to overt sentimentality is a testament to his skill as a painter of genre scenes. The painting is not only an important work within Israëls' oeuvre but also a valuable piece in the context of 19th-century Dutch genre painting, offering insights into the social and cultural fabric of the period.

The painting has been exhibited in various art institutions and has been subject to scholarly analysis for its artistic and cultural significance. It remains a poignant example of Jozef Israëls' mastery in capturing the simple yet profound moments of everyday life.
