Gerhard ter Borch (also known as Gerard Terburg) is considered an important Dutch genre and portrait painter of Baroque of the 17th century.
Born: in December 1617 in Zwolle, Dutch Republic
Died: 08 December 1681 in Deventer, Dutch Republic
Inspired by his teacher Pieter de Molijn, Gerard ter Borch firstly engages in landscape painting. After some travelling among others through Italy, England and France, from 1640, he turns to genre painting. Also, his portraits, which he starts to paint from 1660 onwards, continue to include reference points to the genre, in addition to the bourgeois-looking premises.
