Follower of Gerard ter Borch (II)

'Follower of Gerard ter Borch (II)' is a designation used by auction houses and art historians to identify anonymous artists who worked in close proximity to or under the influence of the celebrated Dutch Golden Age master Gerard ter Borch the Younger (1617, 1681). These painters emulated ter Borch's refined style, particularly his intimate genre scenes and portraits of bourgeois society rendered with meticulous attention to fabric and texture. Their works, while not attributed to ter Borch himself, demonstrate a strong familiarity with his compositional methods and technical approach.
