About the piece

Painted around 1652 by the celebrated Dutch artist Gerard ter Borch, this genre scene is a quintessential example of his skill in depicting domestic life. The composition is famously admired for the luminous rendering of the woman's white satin gown, which serves as the visual centerpiece against the dark, atmospheric interior of a 17th-century home.
