The first wine. The focus is on the elderly man, probably the grandfather, who gently holds a glass to a little girl's lips at the table to try. In the 19th century, sipping wine at family parties was a symbolic ritual. It was considered a small initiatory gesture that playfully integrated the child into the community of adults, a reproduction of a model from the 19th century.
