Portrait of Christina, wife of Weicker Reys

Conrad Faber von Kreuznach's Portrait of Christina, Wife of Weicker Reys completes the pendant portrait pair with her husband, documenting the Reys family as a couple in the dynastic tradition of Frankfurt patrician portraiture. Female portraits in this tradition served to document the wife's appearance alongside her husband's, asserting the family's continuity through the conjugal pair. Faber's characterization gives Christina a direct gaze and careful attention to her jewelry and dress that document both her individual personality and the material prosperity that supported the Reys family's civic prominence.

The portrait follows established conventions of the period, with attention to physiognomic features and costume details that convey social identity and status.
