"Gesina ter Borch painted this moving portrait of her brother, who was 15 years her junior, following his death. This crowning achievement in her artistic legacy also offers an intimate glimpse into her personal life. The pain of loss and the importance of joy-filled memories are universal, and still palpable in this 350-year-old painting."
