Staande vrouw met opgeheven arm c. 1648

"Staande vrouw met opgeheven arm" (c. 1648) is a small watercolor drawing by Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch. The artwork depicts a woman in a long, grey dress with a raised arm, and it is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection. Though not as famous as her brother Gerard ter Borch, Gesina was a skilled artist in her own right, and this drawing showcases her talent for capturing details of dress and figure. The delicate washes of color and loose lines suggest a quick but masterful sketch of a figure in motion.
