Her oeuvre is securely attributed and thoroughly catalogued, with three albums of her watercolors and calligraphy known today; surprisingly, though, she has never been the subject of an independent monograph or sustained discussion. This volume is the first to highlight her watercolors and calligraphy in their own right, alongside documentation of her work as an art teacher, archivist, and artist's model. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Adam Eaker revisits Ter Borch's role during the genesis of Dutch \"high-life\" genre painting and, in doing so, examines the construction of gender and social classes by comparing her art with that of her brother. In this monograph, Eaker questions a historiography of women's art that frequently valorizes painting over other media and values work for the market over \"amateur\" production. \u003ci\u003eGesina ter Borch\u003c\/i\u003e offers a fascinating exploration of Ter Borch's life and work and a more nuanced understanding of the ideologies and achievements of Dutch genre painting.","brand":"Getty Publications","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45128600551575,"sku":"9781606069462","price":3274.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781606069462.webp?v=1767651579","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/gesina-ter-borch-9781606069462","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
