About the piece
Created around 1659 by Gerard ter Borch, this interior scene showcases the artist's renowned skill in rendering fine textiles. The woman's dress, executed in luminous white satin, contrasts sharply against the dark room and folding screen behind her. Seated at a table draped with a rich oriental rug and a single candle, she is captured in a quiet, narrative moment—pausing to drink while clutching a letter in her lap.
