Seated Girl in Peasant Costume  1650

by Gerard ter Borch II

In the 17th century this young woman in peasant clothing would have been instantly recognized as an unmarried country girl from her pinned-up plaits and red headband. Ter Borch’s model was probably Gesina, his half-sister. She posed regularly for him in various roles.
