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.[1]

The painting was first shown in the exhibition John Brack, at Peter Bray Gallery,[2][3] Melbourne, 8-17 March 1955, for the price of 35 guineas; then at John Brack: The Sport of Kings and Other Paintings, at the Johnstone Gallery, Brisbane, 27 March - 8 April 1957, titled there Little Girl Drawing, and purchased for 40 guineas,[4] by Mr J.C. Tritton, Brisbane.[1]

It was sold at auction by Christie's in 1971 and "disappeared from view", becoming part of various private collections.[5][6]

The painting was part of the private collection of Sydney banker, and co-founder of Macquarie Group, David Clarke.[7] It was sold at auction by Sotheby's in April 2015 for a hammer price of AUD725,000.[8]
