Seated Girl in Peasant Costume
Unknown artist
In the 17th century this young woman in peasant clothing would have been instantly recognized as an unmarried country girl from her pinned-up plaits and red headband. Ter Borch’s model was probably Gesina, his half-sister. She posed regularly for him in various roles.
