EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of Helena van der Schalcke" is a stunning example of Dutch art from the Golden Age. Painted around 1648 by Gerard ter Borch or Gerard ter Borch the Younger, this oil on panel masterpiece measures 34x28.5 cm and is housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The subject of this exquisite painting is a young girl named Helena van der Schalcke. Dressed in an elaborate costume that reflects her affluent status, she sits delicately in a wicker basket adorned with lace and gold chains. Her innocent gaze and rosy cheeks capture the essence of childhood during this era. This portrait not only showcases the technical mastery of Terborch but also provides us with a glimpse into Dutch society at the time. It symbolizes wealth and prosperity through its lavish details and elegant composition. Helena's golden age attire serves as a reminder of the opulence enjoyed by wealthy families during this period. The intricate lacework on her dress highlights both her social standing and attention to fashion. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are transported back to a time when children were portrayed as miniature adults - poised yet playful, embodying innocence within their privileged lives.
