This watercolor painting by Dutch artist Harmen ter Borch depicts a group of six individuals on a boat in Zwolle, Netherlands. Executed around 1655, the artwork captures a fleeting moment of leisure. The scene features a tranquil canal, a distant cityscape, and a group of figures conversing and enjoying the ride. Ter Borch, known for his masterful depiction of everyday life, skillfully captures the subtle details of the figures’ clothing and expressions, making this small-scale work a charming glimpse into Dutch society during the Golden Age.
