A Woman Playing the Theorbo-Lute and a Cavalier
ca. 1658

Artist: Gerard ter Borch the Younger (Dutch, Zwolle 1617–1681 Deventer)
Date: ca. 1658
Medium: Oil on wood
Dimensions: 14 1/2 x 12 3/4 in. (36.8 x 32.4 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Bequest of Benjamin Altman, 1913
Accession Number: 14.40.617
In this intimate scene, a young woman strums a lute while playing a duet with her suitor. Songbooks, such as the one lying on the table here, were common lover’s gifts at the time. The watch lying alongside it may symbolize temperance, or perhaps the fleetingness of the affair.
