EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Margaretha van Haexbergen" offers a glimpse into the life of an influential woman during the Dutch Golden Age. Painted by Gerard ter Borch or Borch, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 81.3x65.1 cm and is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Margaretha van Haexbergen, wife of Burgomaster Jan van Duren, belonged to Deventer's ruling class in the province of Overijssel. In this pendant portrait, she exudes traditional elegance and conservatism through her rich but sombre black attire. Adorned with intricate lace and exquisite jewelry, Margaretha's status as a member of the elite ruling class is unmistakable. The artist skillfully captures her dignified presence as she sits regally on an ornate chair against an opulent interior backdrop. Her velvet collar and fringed cap add further sophistication to her appearance while emphasizing her affluent lifestyle. Through this painting, we are transported back to a time when wealth and social standing were prominently displayed through fashion choices and luxurious possessions. Margaretha van Haexbergen serves as a symbol of power and prosperity during one of history's most prosperous eras – the Dutch Golden Age. With its meticulous attention to detail and expert use of light and shadow, this artwork showcases both Terborch or Borch's technical mastery as well as his ability to capture the essence of his subjects' personalities.
