"The First Cloud" is an 1887 painting by the Scottish artist Sir William Quiller-Orchardson. The work is a significant example of Victorian narrative painting, a genre that sought to tell a story through a single image. The painting is notable for its exploration of marital discord and the psychological tension between a husband and wife, themes that were often explored in the literature and art of the period.

In "The First Cloud," Quiller-Orchardson depicts a moment of emotional strain in a domestic setting, capturing the subtleties of body language and expression to convey the narrative. The title suggests that the couple is experiencing the initial signs of trouble in their relationship, which is symbolized by the metaphor of a gathering storm. The artist's use of lighting, composition, and color further emphasizes the mood of the scene, with the figures positioned apart from each other, highlighting the emotional distance between them.

The painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1887, where it received critical acclaim for its refined technique and its poignant portrayal of a private, yet universally relatable, moment of conflict. "The First Cloud" is considered one of Quiller-Orchardson's masterpieces and reflects his reputation for creating works that combine technical skill with a keen insight into human character and relationships.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, "The First Cloud" is part of the collection at the Tate Britain in London, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and cultural significance within the context of 19th-century British art.
