Portrait of the Artist's Second Wife (Ritratto della seconda moglie) is a 1903 ink by Giovanni Fattori, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white drawing of a woman’s face and shoulders, turned slightly away. Her hair is pulled back, and her expression is calm but serious. The lines are loose and sketchy, with some areas darker than others. The paper looks old, with a slightly yellowish tint and small marks from the printing process. The artist signed it in the corner.
