"Portrait of the Artist's Wife" (1513) is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Andrea del Sarto, whose real name was Andrea d'Agnolo. Born in Florence, del Sarto was a contemporary of other renowned artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. The painting is a testament to del Sarto's mastery of portraiture and his ability to capture the subtleties of human expression and character.

The portrait depicts the artist's wife, Lucrezia del Fede, whom he married in 1512. She was the widow of a hatter named Carlo Recanati; after his death, del Sarto married her, and she became a frequent subject in his artworks. In this painting, Lucrezia is portrayed with a gentle yet somewhat enigmatic expression, which has intrigued art historians and viewers alike. Her gaze is directed slightly away from the viewer, and her attire and accessories are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the fashions of the time.

The artwork is executed in oil on panel, a medium that was increasingly popular during the Renaissance for its rich colors and durability. Del Sarto's use of chiaroscuro—a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and three-dimensionality—is evident in this portrait and contributes to the lifelike appearance of his wife.

"Portrait of the Artist's Wife" is not only a personal representation of del Sarto's spouse but also an example of the artist's technical skill and his contribution to the development of portraiture during the Renaissance. The painting is often discussed in the context of del Sarto's body of work, which includes religious and mythological scenes, as well as other portraits. Although overshadowed by his more famous contemporaries, del Sarto's work was highly regarded by his peers and had a significant influence on later artists, particularly in Florence.

The painting is held in a private collection, and as such, it has been less accessible to the public and scholars than other works by del Sarto. Nonetheless, "Portrait of the Artist's Wife" remains an important piece for understanding the artist's personal life and the broader context of portraiture in the Italian Renaissance.
