Portrait of Wife is a 1900 oil by Stanisław Dębicki, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting shows a woman sitting with a small dog on her lap. The woman has dark hair and wears a white shirt with lace details. The dog is black and white. The background is a room with a window and a brown wall. The woman's expression is calm, and she looks to the side. The dog looks up at her. The painting's colors are muted, with shades of brown and gray dominating the scene. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume in the painting. The contrast between light and dark areas draws the viewer's attention to the woman and the dog. To learn more about this technique, look up chiaroscuro.
