"First Steps" is a painting by Vincent van Gogh, completed in 1890 during the artist's time in Auvers-sur-Oise, France, shortly before his death. The work is a reinterpretation of a genre painting by Jean-François Millet, an artist whom Van Gogh greatly admired and whose work he often sought to emulate in his own style. Millet's original painting, also titled "First Steps," depicts a peasant woman guiding her child's initial steps in a rural setting, symbolizing the connection between human life and the agrarian cycle.

Van Gogh's version of "First Steps" is executed in his characteristic post-impressionist style, marked by bold, expressive brushstrokes and vibrant color contrasts. The painting retains the central theme of Millet's work, focusing on the intimate, universal moment of a child's first steps, while infusing it with Van Gogh's emotional intensity and unique color palette. The composition captures the tenderness of the scene, with the mother extending her hands toward the child, who is taking a tentative step forward.

This painting is significant as it reflects Van Gogh's ongoing dialogue with the work of other artists and his continuous exploration of peasant life as a subject matter. It also illustrates his ability to reinterpret existing artworks, adding his own perspective and emotional depth. "First Steps" is often discussed in the context of Van Gogh's late works, which are characterized by a sense of urgency and a powerful use of line and color.

The painting is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration for Van Gogh's innovative approach to traditional themes and his contribution to the development of modern art.
