EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait, titled "Head of a girl" and created by Dutch artist Moses ter Borch around 1660, captures the enchanting beauty and youthful allure of a young woman. The image, believed to be of Moses ter Borch's sister Jenneken, who would have been around 19 or 20 at the time, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the intricacies of the human form and the delicate nuances of expression. The young woman in the portrait is depicted looking down, her gaze fixed on an unseen point, adding an air of introspection and depth to the image. Her ringlet curls cascade down her shoulders, framing her face and accentuating her youthful features. The artist's masterful use of chalk and watercolour paints, as well as parchment animal material, creates a monochrome effect that adds to the timeless quality of the portrait. The portrait is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Low Countries during the 17th century, a period known for its innovative approaches to portraiture and its emphasis on capturing the individual essence of its subjects. The image is now a cherished piece of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and continues to captivate viewers with its haunting beauty and enduring appeal.
