EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait by Gesina ter Borch, created in 1660, showcases the artist's exceptional skill and confidence. The image, drawn in chalk and watercolor on paper, is framed within an ornate cartouche adorned with the Ter Borch family crest and a hymn by Henrik Jordis, extolling the virtues of Gesina. The direct gaze of the artist, with her expressive eyes and finely detailed features, invites the viewer into a deeply personal and introspective moment. Gesina's intricate hairstyle, featuring ringlets cascading down her shoulders, was a popular fashion choice during the Dutch Golden Age. The artist's masterful use of color and shading adds depth and dimension to her self-portrait, bringing her likeness to life. The inclusion of her own handwriting in the poem further emphasizes her multifaceted talents as an artist, poet, and member of the Ter Borch family. This self-portrait is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands during the 17th century, a time of great cultural and intellectual flourishing in Europe. The Rijksmuseum, a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the artistic treasures of the Netherlands, is home to this remarkable work of art. The combination of the artist's self-expression, the intricate cartouche design, and the poetic inscription make this self-portrait a truly unique and captivating work of art from the Dutch Golden Age.
