Porträt der Mary Stuck 1910

Franz von Stuck's "Porträt der Mary Stuck" (1910) is a striking portrait of the artist's wife, Mary. Rendered in a painterly style, the work captures Mary's youthful beauty. Her gaze is direct and confident, her features softened by a hint of a smile. Mary is portrayed wearing a rich maroon coat, complemented by a dark hat, against a muted background. The loose brushstrokes lend a sense of movement and immediacy to the composition, highlighting the depth of the artist's talent. This intimate portrayal speaks to the enduring bond between the artist and his muse.
