Moses ter Borch's "Oude vrouw voor een spiegel, met twee dienstmeiden" (c. 1660) is a genre painting depicting an elderly woman seated before a mirror, attended by two young maids. The artwork's intimate setting, the elderly woman's thoughtful expression, and the maids' attentive gestures create a sense of quiet domesticity, characteristic of ter Borch's work. It is part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam, measuring 374 mm in height and 318 mm in width. The artist, Moses ter Borch, a Dutch painter, lived a tragically short life, passing away at the age of 22 in 1667.
