EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite watercolor painting, titled "Company on a Terrace," was created by the renowned Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch between the years 1660 and 1661. The scene unfolds on an al fresco terrace, where four individuals, two men and two women, engage in a moment of leisurely companionship. The men, dressed in fashionable attire, converse with each other, while the women, adorned in elegant garments, serve them refreshments. The arrival of the group is suggested by the boy peeking out from the doorway, adding a sense of anticipation to the scene. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this seventeenth-century masterpiece transport us back to the Dutch Golden Age and the United Provinces of the Netherlands. The use of watercolor and ink adds depth and texture to the image, capturing the essence of the outdoors and the natural beauty of the terrace. The painting is a testament to the concept of companionship and the simple pleasures of life during this period. This artwork, a precious heritage of European art history, is now housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The arrival of the figures on the terrace invites us to pause and reflect on the enduring value of human connection and the beauty of the natural world.
