Maybe not the first one painted in the style. But the style was named after that painting.

This image doesn’t do the Cleveland Museum of Art’s painting justice, but is the best I could find online. Seen up close, the little girl is simply luminous.

I’m a Degas fan, but since he considered himself a realist as opposed to an impressionist, I declined to link to any of his works.

I guess it depends on how you define impressionism. Degas didn’t use the same techniques that other impressionists did. But I think he chose impressionist-style subjects for his paintings. His choice of common scenes as subjects (here here), the way he depicted color and light (here here), and the use of non-traditional angles (here here) were all typical of impressionism in my opinion.
