EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, created by the Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch around 1670, depicts her brother Moses ter Borch. The image captures Moses in his prime, standing confidently with one hand on his hip and a thoughtful expression on his face. His blonde, long hair is styled fashionably, and he wears a white shirt with elaborate lace sleeves and a high-collar, typical of the Dutch Golden Age. The intricate heraldic crest on his chest adds an air of nobility and heritage. Moses ter Borch was a man of the United Provinces during the Dutch Republic's seventeenth century, a time of great artistic and cultural flourishing. His sister, Gesina, was an accomplished artist in her own right, known for her draughtsmanship and watercolor paintings. This portrait is a testament to her skill as an artist and her deep affection for her brother. The clothing in the portrait reflects the fashion of the time, with the long, flowing sleeves and high collars being popular choices for men's attire. The paper background adds a simple, yet effective, contrast to the detailed clothing and crest. Sadly, Moses ter Borch's life was cut short when he was killed while fighting in the Second English Civil War. This poignant portrait serves as a reminder of his youth and vitality, as well as the artistic heritage of the Low Countries during the Dutch Golden Age.
