Seated Child and a Child Playing the Violin

Harmen ter Borch (mentioned on object), 1650-01-13

Harmen ter Borch was the most prolific member of his artistic family. Over 200 drawings can be attributed to him. Many sheets bear notes and dates written by his father, Gerard ter Borch. From this emerges that Harmen drew chiefly in the winter months, when it was too cold to venture outdoors.
