| | Gerard Terborch |
 | | The inscription on a study of a head proves that Terborch was at Amsterdam in 1632, where he studied possibly under C. Duyster or P. Codde. |
 | | At this time Terborch was invited to visit Madrid, where he received employment and the honor of knighthood from Philip IV, but, in consequence of an intrigue, it is said, he was obliged to return to Holland. |
 | | Terborch is excellent as a portrait painter, but still greater as a painter of genre subjects. |
