The Drover's Wife is a 1945 painting by Australian artist Russell Drysdale. The painting depicts a flat, barren landscape with a woman in a plain dress in the foreground—a man, a wagon and two horses are in the background. The painting has been described as "an allegory of the white Australian people's relationship with this ancient land." The title of the painting comes from "The Drover's Wife", an 1892 sketch story written by Henry Lawson.
