TERBORCH, Gerard (b. 1617, Zwolle, d. 1681, Deventer) |
Woman Playing the Theorbo-Lute and a Cavalierc. 1658Oil on wood, 37 x 32 cm Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York | ||
By the late 1650s, Terborch had been arranging three-quarter-length figures around tables, in compositions of similar format, for about ten years. The present painting belongs to this group. The figure of the theorbo player recalls the young woman in blue who plays alone at a table in The Suitor's Visit of about 1658.
