First Steps

Jean-François Millet

Cleveland Museum of Art

The painting depicts a man, woman, and child outdoors. The man is crouched on one knee, facing right; he wears a white shirt, blue pants, and a dark hat. His left arm is extended to a small object he holds. The woman stands with her back to the viewer, wearing a long dark dress; she bends toward a small child who stands facing her. The child wears a blue shirt and pink dress. A wooden cart with a wheel and a load covered by a cloth sits on the left. A wooden fence runs along the right and back. Trees and a house are in the background.
