Portrait of a Girl Reading a Book, Gerard ter Borch (I), c. 1630 - 1635

brush, h 97mm × w 88mm More details

The sitter in this drawing by Gerard ter Borch is probably his eldest daughter, Anna. He affectionately drew her concentrated face, her long eyelashes and the wisps of hair escaping from her otherwise tidily combed back hair. Like her younger sister Gesina, Anna practised calligraphy. This form of penmanship was popular primarily among girls in the 17th century
