"Les Premiers Pas" is an oil on canvas painting produced by the French artist Virginie Demont-Breton. Created in the 19th century, the painting is characteristic of Demont-Breton's focus on scenes from everyday life, particularly those involving sea, families, children, and the working class. The title, "Les Premiers Pas," translates as "The First Steps," suggestive of the thematic narrative of emerging independence and the process of growth.

The painting features a scene of a woman, presumably the mother, assisting her young infant in taking its initial steps on a beach. The backdrop of the sea and wide sky paints a serene and quiet life by the coast. The theme of the painting creates a tender visualization of maternal care and childhood development, instilling a sense of peace, love, and dedication.

Virginie Demont-Breton, born in Courrières, France, was recognized for her genre paintings, and her oeuvre mainly comprises representations of fisherfolk and coastal life. She was the first woman painter elected to the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours in London and her works were widely exhibited at the Paris salon exhibitions, earning her significant acclaim. Through her paintings, she made a profound statement about class, gender roles, and family relationships in her contemporary society.

"Les Premiers Pas" remains a significant piece in Demont-Breton's portfolio, showcasing her attention to narrative detail, her realism-influenced painting style, and her overall contribution to the art world as a female artist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
