A Portrait of the Princess Soutzo is a notable work by the Hungarian painter Mihály Munkácsy, a leading figure of 19th-century European art known for his genre pictures and large-scale biblical paintings. This portrait, while less documented in comparison to Munkácsy's more famous works such as "Christ Before Pilate," is a significant example of his skill in portraiture, showcasing his ability to capture the essence and personality of his sitters with depth and sensitivity.

The painting depicts Princess Soutzo, a member of the aristocratic Soutzo family, which was prominent in the political and social circles of Eastern Europe, particularly in Romania and Greece. The exact date of the painting is not well-documented, but it is believed to have been created during the peak of Munkácsy's career, likely in the late 19th century, a period when he was highly sought after by the European elite for his portrait work.

In "A Portrait of the Princess Soutzo," Munkácsy employs his characteristic realism, infused with a sense of psychological insight. The princess is portrayed with an elegance and grace that was typical of high society portraiture of the era, yet there is an underlying strength and complexity in her expression that suggests a deeper narrative. Munkácsy's use of lighting and texture, as well as his attention to the details of the princess's attire and surroundings, contribute to the overall impact of the portrait, making it a compelling study of character and social status.

The painting is also significant for its contribution to the understanding of Munkácsy's artistic range. While he is primarily known for his dramatic historical and biblical scenes, his portraits such as "A Portrait of the Princess Soutzo" reveal a more intimate and personal aspect of his work. Through this and similar portraits, Munkácsy demonstrated his versatility and his keen observational skills, capturing not just the physical likeness of his subjects but also their inner life and personality.

"A Portrait of the Princess Soutzo" remains an important piece within Munkácsy's oeuvre, reflecting both the artistic trends of the late 19th century and the personal style of one of Hungary's most celebrated artists. While it may not be as widely recognized as some of his larger works, it offers valuable insight into the social and cultural milieu of the time, as well as into Munkácsy's own artistic evolution.
