EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 17th-century watercolor painting, titled "Roma Woman Reading a Gentleman's Palm (Moses?)" by Gesina ter Borch, captures a fascinating moment in time. The scene unfolds on the riverbank, where a Roma woman intently studies the palm of a gentleman, likely Moses ter Borch, the artist's brother. The tranquil setting is filled with the rustic charm of the Dutch Republic during the Golden Age. The gentlemen, dressed in fine attire, looks on with curiosity as his page, a young boy, observes the unfolding scene. Two dogs lie at their feet, adding to the idyllic atmosphere. In the background, a thoroughfare runs along the river, with a tree-lined road winding through the landscape. The rich colors and intricate details of the painting transport us back to this bygone era. Moses ter Borch, a soldier in the Second English Civil War, was tragically killed in battle. This poignant painting may serve as a memorial to him, or perhaps an exploration of the Romani heritage and the art of palmistry during this period. The painting is now a cherished part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, offering a glimpse into the diverse and complex history of the Netherlands during the Dutch Golden Age.
