EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the youthful charm of Gerrit and Cornelis Schellinger, nephews of renowned Dutch painter Gesina ter Borch, in a full-length drawing dated between 1675 and 1685. The brothers' playful demeanor is evident as they engage in a leisurely pastime, with the older boy, Gerrit, wearing a hat with a side brim and holding a hat or possibly part of a game. Cornelis, the younger sibling, charms with his mischievous grin as he holds a hoop with small metal cymbals or bells that made a sound when rolling. The drawing, executed in chalk on paper, showcases the siblings' intricately detailed clothing of the Dutch Golden Age. Gerrit dons a coat with a rich, vibrant color and a dress with a striking pattern, while Cornelis wears a jacket and a simple, yet elegant dress. The brothers' clothing, reflecting the fashion of the time, adds to the overall charm and authenticity of the artwork. The drawing, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of the Netherlands during the Dutch Republic era, is a precious reminder of childhood innocence and the bond between siblings. The pastel colors and intricate details of the drawing, preserved in the Rijksmuseum, continue to captivate viewers and provide a glimpse into the lives of the Schellinger boys during the seventeenth century.
