Om maleriet
Seated Girl in Peasant Costume is an oil-on-panel painting by Dutch artist Gerard ter Borch, created c. 1650. It is held in the Rijksmuseum, in Amsterdam.
Med museets ord
Ter Borch probably depicted his half-sister Gesina ter Borch here. She, too, was an artist, and frequently modelled for him. In the 17th century, her appearance, with her gathered plaits and a red hairband, would immediately identify her as an unmarried country girl. She is holding a printed sheet of paper, from which she briefly glances up.

Imens i livet hos Gerard ter Borch
Hele livet1646
Travels to Münster for the peace negotiations
In 1646, at the invitation of the Dutch ambassador Adriaen Pauw, he travels to Münster, where peace between Holland and Spain is being negotiated, paints portraits of the diplomats and attracts the attention of the Spanish ambassador, Count Peñaranda, who takes him into his service.
1648
Turns to interior scenes
Whereas earlier he painted mainly scenes of peasant and military life, from 1648 he gives more attention to domestic interiors with few figures: gallant couples, ladies reading a letter or making music.
1648
Returns to Holland
In the same year he returns to Holland and lives by turns in Amsterdam, The Hague, Haarlem, Kampen and Zwolle; in a short time he gains the reputation of Europe’s foremost master of genre painting. One of his great patrons is the Amsterdam burgomaster Andries de Graeff.
15 May 1648
Present at the ratification of the Peace of Münster
In the service of Count Peñaranda, he is present at the conclusion of the Peace of Münster between Holland and Spain on 15 May 1648 and records the event in his celebrated little picture, painted on copper, “The Ratification of the Treaty of Münster” (De bezwering van de vrede van Münster).
