Studieblad met een vrijer die door zijn beminde gevangen is genomen c. 1620 - 1625

"Studie blad met een vrijer die door zijn beminde gevangen is genomen" (c. 1620 - 1625) is a pen-and-ink drawing by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard ter Borch. The drawing depicts a scene of a couple, a man and a woman, in a street scene, with a sign above them that reads "Venus." A cupid is shown flying overhead with an arrow, possibly hinting at the love between the couple. The piece is a study of human interaction, with the artist capturing the delicate gestures and emotions of his subjects. The drawing, part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a charming example of ter Borch's early work.
