Heer die een dame voorleest c. 1660 - 1661

"Heer die een dame voorleest" (Gentleman Reading to a Lady) is a watercolor drawing by Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch, created around 1660-1661. The intimate scene depicts a man seated at a table, reading to a woman who sits beside a fireplace. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, showcases ter Borch's mastery of detail and subtle depiction of domestic life, typical of Dutch genre painting of the 17th century.
