"Portrait of the Artist's Wife" (1896) is a notable work by Hungarian artist Aladár Körösfői-Kriesch. Created during the late 19th century, the painting is a representation the artist’s wife and is recognized as a significant contribution to Hungarian Symbolism, a cultural movement that sought to express abstract or spiritual ideas through symbolic representation. Körösfői-Kriesch is known for his contributions to the Gödöő Art Colony, a group of artists living and working together in Gödöll, Hungary, who shared common aesthetic and moral values.

The painting is characterized by its near-symbolist undertones, with the muted color palette and delicate handling of light suggesting the influence of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The use of close-range natural background is characteristic of Körösfői-Kriesch’s oeuvre and the Gödöllő Colony’s emphasis on unity with the natural environment. "Portrait of the Artist's Wife" exemplifies the introspective mood of his work, inspiring aesthetic contemplation through evocative and subjective symbolism.

The subject's solemn expression and the domestic setting provide an intimate glimpse into the artist's personal life. The painting, both a personal homage and a broader exploration of feminine virtues prevalent during that era, underscores Körösfői-Kriesch's artistic prowess and his ability to capture profundity in the everyday.

The artwork, much like its counterparts of that period, serves as a historical testament to the burgeoning artistic movements - specifically Symbolism - in Hungary, flourishing under the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Despite its personal subject matter, "Portrait of the Artist's Wife" transcends the private sphere, to embody the collective spirit of late 19th-century Hungarian artistry. To date, it remains a critical artefact of Hungarian Symbolism, providing a fruitful context for discussions on aesthetics, nationalism, and the intersection of private and public art.
