Painting Description
"Woman Writing a Letter, c. 1655" is a celebrated oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard ter Borch (1617–1681). This genre painting, which measures 38 x 28 cm, is housed in the Mauritshuis museum in The Hague, Netherlands. Ter Borch, renowned for his ability to capture the subtleties of human interactions and the textures of luxurious fabrics, presents a moment of quiet introspection as a woman pens a letter.
The painting depicts an elegantly dressed woman in a satin gown, her attention focused on the letter before her. The scene is set in a domestic interior, a common setting for Ter Borch's works, which often feature figures engaged in everyday activities. The artist's mastery of light and shadow is evident in the way the light falls across the woman's face and the folds of her dress, creating a sense of depth and realism. The woman's expression is one of concentration and perhaps a hint of emotion, inviting viewers to ponder the contents of her letter and the nature of her correspondence.
Ter Borch's meticulous attention to detail extends to the accessories surrounding the woman, including the inkwell, sand shaker, and the sealing wax on the table, all of which add to the authenticity of the scene. The painting is notable for its intimate scale and the psychological depth Ter Borch achieves through his portrayal of the woman's demeanor.
"Woman Writing a Letter" is a prime example of Ter Borch's genre scenes that offer a glimpse into the private lives of the Dutch middle class during the 17th century. His work is characterized by a refined and elegant style, and this painting, in particular, exemplifies his skill in rendering the textures of materials and the subtleties of human expression. The artwork remains an important piece within Ter Borch's oeuvre and contributes significantly to the understanding of genre painting in Dutch art history.
