"Magdalena Ventura with Her Husband and Son" is a striking and unconventional oil painting created in 1631 by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. This work is renowned for its powerful depiction of a bearded woman, Magdalena Ventura, standing alongside her husband and holding her infant son. The painting is currently housed in the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid, Spain.

Ribera's work is a masterful example of the Caravaggisti style, characterized by dramatic chiaroscuro and realistic, often stark, portrayals of its subjects. The painting measures 202.5 cm by 123 cm and is notable for its life-size representation of the figures, which enhances the immediacy and impact of the scene. The subject matter of the painting is particularly unusual for the period, as it challenges contemporary norms of beauty and gender by presenting a woman with a condition that caused her to grow a beard.

The painting was commissioned by the Duke of Alcalá, the viceroy of Naples, where Ribera was active. It includes an inscription that provides information about Ventura's age (52), her condition, and the fact that she had given birth to three sons. This text, along with the sensitive portrayal of the figures, suggests that Ribera intended to evoke both curiosity and empathy in the viewer.

"Magdalena Ventura with Her Husband and Son" is considered one of Ribera's most important works, as it exemplifies his skill in portraiture and his ability to convey complex human conditions with dignity and compassion. The painting has been analyzed extensively by art historians and is often discussed in the context of Baroque portraiture, gender studies, and the representation of 'the other' in early modern European art.
