"The First Cigarette. A Smoking Boy With His Little Sister" is a captivating painting by the Italian artist Scipione Vannutelli, who was active during the 19th century. Vannutelli, known for his genre scenes and detailed depictions of everyday life, created this work to capture a poignant moment of childhood curiosity and innocence.

The painting portrays a young boy, likely in his early teens, who is seen smoking a cigarette for the first time. His expression is a mix of curiosity and a hint of defiance, as he engages in an activity that is both forbidden and alluring. Beside him stands his little sister, who watches him with wide-eyed fascination and perhaps a touch of concern. The interaction between the siblings is tender and intimate, highlighting the bond they share despite the boy's rebellious act.

Vannutelli's use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, drawing the viewer's attention to the children's faces and the cigarette's glowing tip. The background is kept relatively simple, ensuring that the focus remains on the central figures and their interaction. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the textures of the children's clothing and the subtle expressions on their faces.

This painting not only showcases Vannutelli's technical skill but also serves as a social commentary on the rites of passage and the allure of adult behaviors to children. It reflects the broader themes of innocence, curiosity, and the transition from childhood to adolescence. "The First Cigarette. A Smoking Boy With His Little Sister" remains a significant work in Vannutelli's oeuvre, offering insight into the artist's ability to capture complex human emotions and relationships within a single, evocative moment.
