"First Steps" is a painting by Vincent van Gogh completed in 1890, during the final year of his life. This work is an interpretation of a genre painting by Jean-François Millet, an artist whom Van Gogh greatly admired and often sought to emulate. Millet's original, also titled "First Steps," depicts a peasant woman guiding her child's initial steps in a rural setting, symbolizing growth and the continuation of rural life. Van Gogh's version reimagines the scene with his unique style, characterized by vibrant colors and dynamic brushwork.

Van Gogh's "First Steps" is an example of his engagement with the themes of family life, the nobility of peasant life, and the cycles of nature—subjects that were central to Millet's work and to the Barbizon school of painters. Van Gogh's interpretation is notable for its emotional resonance and the way it reflects his own artistic journey, as he sought to convey the essence of his subjects through bold, expressive strokes and a rich palette.

The painting is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, having been bequeathed by the Havemeyer family in 1929. It remains a significant work within Van Gogh's oeuvre, exemplifying his deep respect for Millet and his own aspirations to capture the human condition through art. "First Steps" continues to be appreciated for its poignant representation of a universal moment, rendered with the distinctive intensity that marks Van Gogh's contribution to Post-Impressionism.
