Seated Girl in Peasant Costume

Seated Girl in Peasant Costume is an oil-on-panel painting by Dutch artist Gerard ter Borch, created c. 1650.

[1][2] The painting depicts a girl dressed in peasants' clothing.

She can be recognized as an unmarried farmer's daughter by her braids and red hairband.

She is seated in a dark room, holding a printed piece of paper in her right hand, while she appears to be thinking with a nostalgic look.

[3] The work came from the private collection of Isaac de Bruyn and Johanna Geertruida van der Leeuw.
