EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century artwork, titled "Sijbrant Schellinger and Jenneken ter Borch with two children in an interior," was created by the renowned Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch in 1669. The painting depicts Jenneken ter Borch, Gesina's sister, seated in a cozy bedchamber with her husband Sijbrant Schellinger and two young children. The room is filled with an abundance of rich colors and textures, from the pink fabric of the bed curtains and the rose-patterned tablecloth, to the deck paint on the walls and the intricately designed furniture. Sijbrant, dressed in a dark suit, looks intently at his wife and their two babies, one girl and one boy, who are nestled in a crib nearby. Jenneken, wearing a flowing white gown, cradles the girl in her arms, while her brother-in-law, Geesie ter Burch, looks on with a gentle expression. The scene is a poignant representation of family life during the Dutch Golden Age, a time of prosperity and cultural flourishing in the Netherlands. The artwork is a testament to Gesina's exceptional skill as a draftswoman, as evidenced by the meticulous details and subtle shading in the drawing. Ink on paper was her preferred medium, and she expertly captured the warmth and intimacy of this domestic scene. The painting is now a cherished part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and continues to captivate audiences with its timeless portrayal of love, family, and the passage of time.
