Acclaimed for his elegant and refined interior genre scenes, the Dutch master Gerard ter Borch (1617–1681) is one of the most important and beloved artists of the seventeenth century. This first major English-language publication on the artist is a significant contribution to the study of Dutch painting and features full-color illustrations of the best works from each area of the artist’s career, highlighting the most striking early pictures of the 1630s, the mid-career genre paintings for which the artist is best known, and the small portraits that brought him prosperity throughout his professional life.
