Vrolijk gezelschap aan een tafel in de openlucht c. 1659 - 1661

"Vrolijk gezelschap aan een tafel in de openlucht" (Merry Company at a Table Outdoors) is a pen-and-ink drawing by Dutch artist Gesina ter Borch, created between 1659 and 1661. The artwork depicts a group of figures, likely members of the Dutch upper class, gathered around a table in a garden setting. The drawing captures a moment of convivial conversation, with the figures animated in a light-hearted scene. Though known for her portraits, Gesina ter Borch's artistic style is reflected in this drawing through the simple yet effective use of line and shading to capture form and detail. The artwork is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
