Seated Girl in Peasant Costume. Probably Gesina (1631-1690), the Painters Half-Sister — Gerard ter Borch

Gerard ter Borch. Painted c. 1650 - c. 1660.

Ter Borch probably depicted his half-sister Gesina ter Borch here. She, too, was an artist, and frequently modelled for him. In the 17th century, her appearance, with her gathered plaits and a red hairband, would immediately identify her as an unmarried country girl. She is holding a printed sheet of paper, from which she briefly glances up.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in Painting, Main building, 17th Century.
