"Portrait of Barbara Šmetanová, Mother of Bedřich Smetana" is a 19th-century oil painting by the Czech artist Antonín Machek. The portrait is notable for its depiction of Barbara Šmetanová, the mother of the renowned Czech composer Bedřich Smetana, who is often referred to as the father of Czech music. Antonín Machek, a prominent portraitist of his time, was known for his ability to capture the character and social standing of his subjects through his realistic and detailed style.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic value but also for its historical and cultural importance. It provides insight into the family life and background of one of the Czech Republic's most celebrated composers. Barbara Šmetanová's portrait is a testament to the era's fashion and societal norms, as well as to the personal story of the Smetana family. The artwork serves as a visual documentation of the period and contributes to the understanding of the social context in which Bedřich Smetana was raised and developed his musical talents.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is presumed to have been painted during the early 19th century, a time when Antonín Machek was actively producing portraits of notable figures in Bohemian society. The painting is characterized by its classical composition and the use of light and shadow to emphasize the subject's features, which was typical of Machek's artistic approach.

The "Portrait of Barbara Šmetanová, Mother of Bedřich Smetana" remains an important work in the study of Czech art history and the Smetana family legacy. It is a valuable piece for both art historians and musicologists interested in the personal lives of composers and the influence of their familial relationships on their work. The location of the painting and its accessibility to the public, if known, would further contribute to its significance and the ability of audiences to appreciate this connection between art and music history.
