''First Daughter'' is a 1955 Modernist painting by Australian artist John Brack. The painting depicts his daughter Clara as a young girl kneeling on the floor drawing a person on a piece of paper. The subject is seen from above - from the viewpoint of a father.〔Sasha Grishin, The Art of John Brack, Oxford University Press, Melbourne, 1990, Vol. 2, p.32〕 The painting was first shown in the exhibition ''John Brack,'' at Peter Bray Gallery,〔"Austerity of line and color controls the effect of the portrait of the artist's wife and the studies of his four daughters. "Little Girl's Head" (5) makes a lovely pattern of a "hairdo" seen from the back. The sprawled form of "First Daughter" (4) draws the eye to her own art effort on a paper placed on the floor."
