Dame en heer in gesprek c. 1654

"Dame en heer in gesprek" is a watercolor painting on paper by Gesina ter Borch, dated around 1654 and currently housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a man and a woman in elegant attire, engaged in conversation. The man, wearing a black cloak and hat, holds a fan in his right hand, while the woman, with her hair adorned with a ribbon, stands in a graceful pose. This intimate scene, capturing a moment of quiet interaction, exemplifies the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with everyday life and the subtle nuances of human connection.
