Die Frau des Künstlers 1905

"Die Frau des Künstlers" (The Artist's Wife), painted in 1905 by Polish symbolist painter Jacek Malczewski, depicts his wife, Maria, seated in a field with two cherubic figures flanking her. The work is an example of Malczewski's signature style, characterized by allegorical imagery and a sense of melancholic introspection. The fantastical elements of the cherubs and the ethereal landscape surrounding them, contribute to the dreamlike atmosphere of the painting, adding a layer of symbolism to the portrait of Maria.
