About the piece
Painted in 1656 by Gerard ter Borch, this masterfully composed portrait captures a Dutch family with exceptional attention to material detail. The play of light on the shimmering satin dress of the young girl on the left provides a luminous focal point against the deep, somber tones of the interior, showcasing the artist's legendary skill in rendering fine fabrics.
