This painting titled The First Step is by Jean-Francois Millet (1814-1875). Here, in a fenced-in garden behind a house, parents encourage their child to walk for the first time. Delicate passages of blue, green, yellow, and red enliven the composition. In the 1860s Jean-Francois Millet began to add pastel to his black chalk drawings of peasants and rural life, with the hope that the addition of color would make his monochromatic drawings more marketable. Millet was a french painter and belonged to the realism Movement.
