"Fashionable Wife (Lioness) Sketch" is an 1849 artwork by Russian painter Pavel Andreevich Fedotov, known for his satirical approach to genre painting and his critical eye on the society of his time. This particular sketch is part of Fedotov's exploration of domestic and social issues, often highlighting the moral and ethical decline he perceived in the middle-class society of 19th-century Russia.

The sketch depicts a scene in which a woman, referred to as a "fashionable wife" or "lioness," is likely engaged in a social or domestic activity that reflects her status and the expectations placed upon her by society. The term "lioness" was often used in the 19th century to describe a woman of high society who was very active in her social circle, hosting events and maintaining a visible presence in the upper echelons of society.

Fedotov's work is characterized by its detailed observation and often ironic representation of his subjects. In "Fashionable Wife (Lioness) Sketch," the artist may be commenting on the superficiality of social status and the performative nature of gender roles within the context of marriage and high society. The sketch would have served as a preliminary study for a more detailed painting, allowing Fedotov to outline his compositional ideas and experiment with the interplay of characters and their environment.

As with many of Fedotov's works, this sketch likely resonated with contemporary viewers who were familiar with the societal norms and expectations it critiqued. Today, it offers valuable insight into the cultural and social dynamics of 19th-century Russian life, as well as the artistic techniques and thematic concerns that defined Fedotov's oeuvre.

Pavel Andreevich Fedotov is often hailed as the founder of Russian genre painting, and his works, including sketches like "Fashionable Wife (Lioness)," are important for their contribution to the development of Russian art and for their historical significance in capturing the spirit of an era.
