EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Helena van der Schalcke, c.1648," is a masterpiece by the renowned Dutch painter Gerard Terborch II, also known as Gerard Terborch the Younger. The painting, which is believed to have been created around 1648, depicts Helena van der Schalcke, the two-year-old daughter of Gerard van der Schalcke and Johanna Bardoel, at a time when she was still a small adult. Despite her young age, Helena is shown in full length, dressed in elegant clothing that reflects the fashion of the 17th century. Her dress is adorned with intricate lace and bows, and she holds a wicker bag in her left hand, adding a touch of playfulness to the portrait. The collar of her dress is also noteworthy, as it is decorated with delicate lace and a vibrant color that contrasts beautifully with her fair complexion. Helena's expression is serene and thoughtful, hinting at the intelligence and grace that she would no doubt possess as she grew up. This portrait is a testament to Terborch's exceptional skill as a painter, particularly in his ability to capture the essence of childhood and the intricacies of Dutch fashion. The painting is now a cherished part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, where it continues to captivate audiences with its exquisite detail and timeless beauty.
