"Premier Chagrin" (English: "First Grief") is a 19th-century oil painting by French artist Paul Seignac (1826–1904), known for his genre paintings depicting children and domestic scenes. The artwork captures a poignant moment of childhood sorrow, showcasing Seignac's skill in rendering emotional depth and his attention to detail.

The painting portrays a young girl in a rustic interior, her expression one of distress as she mourns the death of her pet bird, which lies still at the base of its cage. The scene is illuminated by natural light that filters through a window, highlighting the girl's tear-streaked face and the textures of her clothing and the furnishings around her. Seignac's use of light and shadow, as well as his realistic portrayal of the subject, exemplifies the artist's academic style and his focus on the sentimental aspects of everyday life.

"Premier Chagrin" is emblematic of the 19th-century genre painting tradition, where artists depicted scenes of ordinary life with an emphasis on moralizing or sentimental themes. Seignac's work often resonated with the bourgeois audience of his time, who found comfort and familiarity in his idyllic representations of family life and childhood experiences.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is consistent with the themes and style of Seignac's work during the mid to late 19th century. "Premier Chagrin" has been exhibited in various art galleries and has been part of private and public collections, contributing to the understanding of genre painting in the context of French art history.

The painting is not only a testament to Seignac's artistic talent but also serves as a cultural artifact, reflecting the values and sentiments of the period in which it was created. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its capacity to evoke empathy and reflection on the universal experience of loss and childhood innocence.
