"Merchant's Wife" (Russian: "Купчиха") is a celebrated painting by the Russian artist Boris Mikhailovich Kustodiev. Created in 1918, this work is one of Kustodiev's most famous pieces and exemplifies his artistic style, which combined elements of Russian folk art with the techniques of European painting. The painting is a vibrant and colorful portrayal of a merchant's wife sitting at a table laden with fruits and pastries, enjoying a cup of tea on a terrace.

The painting reflects the opulence and robustness of the merchant class in pre-revolutionary Russia, a recurring theme in Kustodiev's oeuvre. The merchant's wife is depicted as a voluptuous and content figure, embodying the prosperity and the indulgent lifestyle of the bourgeoisie. Her attire is rich and traditional, and her surroundings are filled with intricate details that capture the essence of Russian domestic life during that era.

Kustodiev's work is often noted for its use of bright, saturated colors and a sense of warmth and light, which is evident in "Merchant's Wife." The artist's fascination with the merchant class and his ability to depict the textures and patterns of their world with affection and a hint of nostalgia are hallmarks of his style. The painting is not only a visual feast but also a social commentary on the era's cultural and economic milieu.

"Merchant's Wife" is held in high esteem within the Russian art canon and is frequently exhibited in Russian museums, including the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg, where it is part of the permanent collection. The work is a significant example of Kustodiev's contribution to Russian art and continues to be studied and admired for its technical mastery and its insightful representation of a bygone era.
