Twee portretten van vrouwen 1643 - 1690

This drawing by Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch, created between 1643 and 1690, showcases two female portraits. The first portrait is done in black chalk and depicts a woman in profile, with a delicate bow in her hair. The second portrait, done with black chalk on blue paper, shows a woman facing the viewer, her hair in intricate curls. These portraits exemplify ter Borch's adeptness in capturing the refined elegance of her subjects. Currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, these drawings offer a glimpse into the artistry of this prominent female painter of the 17th century.
