The subject wears a dark doublet with white sleeves, a lace cravat, and a distinctive orange sash tied at the waist. He holds a walking stick in his left hand, while his right hand rests on his hip in a pose of casual confidence. The artist employs a delicate watercolour technique, focusing on the texture of the lace and the fall of the subject's long, fair hair. A small coat of arms is positioned in the upper left corner, suggesting the subject's status or family affiliation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoses ter Borch was a member of a prominent family of painters from Zwolle. His career was brief, as he died at the age of twenty-two. Despite his short life, he produced a significant number of drawings and watercolours that document the dress and social customs of his time. His work often displays a keen eye for detail, particularly in the rendering of textiles and personal accessories. This piece is part of a larger collection of his drawings, which provide insight into the artistic practices within the Ter Borch household. The composition is clean and direct, typical of the portrait studies produced by the artist during his formative years. The use of colour is restrained, allowing the viewer to focus on the subject's features and the specific details of his attire. The work remains a clear example of the portraiture traditions prevalent in the Dutch Republic during the seventeenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/apotheosis-of-hercules-giovanni-domenico-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eApotheosis of Hercules - Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo — Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Moses ter Borch","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442670637391,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442728309071,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442728341839,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58442728374607,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58442728407375,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58442728440143,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58442728472911,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58442728505679,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58442728538447,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58442728571215,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58442728603983,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58442728636751,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-a-Young-Man_Poster_CompositorV1_1786210689960.jpg?v=1786399030"},{"product_id":"the-prodigal-son-as-a-swineherd-moses-ter-borch","title":"The Prodigal Son as a Swineherd - Moses ter Borch","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed study in grey wash by Moses ter Borch, depicting a scene from the parable of the Prodigal Son set within a Dutch farmyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drawing by Moses ter Borch depicts a scene from the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son. The artist focuses on the period of the son's destitution, where he is reduced to tending livestock. The composition is structured around a farmyard setting, featuring a prominent turkey and a rooster in the foreground. To the left, a basket and a bowl suggest the humble conditions of the swineherd.

His technique utilises grey wash to create tonal depth, defining the forms of the birds and the surrounding objects through light and shadow.

The work is preserved in the collection of the Rijksmuseum, providing a clear record of the artist's technical proficiency and his engagement with classical religious themes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/madonna-and-child-giovanni-battista-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eMadonna and Child - Giovanni Battista Tiepolo — Giovanni Battista Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Moses ter Borch","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442861642063,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442887266639,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58442887299407,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58442887332175,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58442887364943,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58442887397711,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58442887430479,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58442887463247,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58442887496015,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58442887528783,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58442887561551,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58442887594319,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Cleansing-of-the-Temple_Poster_CompositorV1_1786212515884.jpg?v=1786402371"},{"product_id":"self-portrait-moses-ter-borch","title":"Self-portrait - Moses ter Borch","description":"\u003cp\u003eA sensitive and intimate self-portrait by the young Dutch Golden Age artist Moses ter Borch, capturing a moment of quiet, youthful reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis intimate portrait captures the young Dutch artist Moses ter Borch during his formative years. Painted in the tradition of the Dutch Golden Age, the work demonstrates the technical proficiency expected of a family steeped in artistic practice. Moses was the younger half-brother of the more widely recognised Gerard ter Borch, and his brief career was marked by a keen ability to render psychological presence through light and shadow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition focuses on the subject's face, emerging from a dark, atmospheric background. The artist employs a limited palette, allowing the warm, golden tones of the hair and the soft, fleshy hues of the skin to draw the viewer's attention. The lighting is directional, casting subtle shadows that define the structure of the face and the soft texture of the hair. The subject wears a simple cap and a plain collar, typical of the period's modest attire, which keeps the focus entirely on the expression of the sitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically, the brushwork is controlled and precise, reflecting the influence of the ter Borch family workshop. The paint application is smooth, with careful blending used to create the transition between light and dark areas. This self-portrait provides a rare glimpse into the personal development of a young artist whose life was cut short. It is a study in observation, showing the artist's early mastery of portraiture and his capacity to capture a moment of quiet reflection.

The composition is organised around the central figure of the saint, who stands upon a raised platform, distributing alms to a crowd of impoverished individuals. The scene is set within an architectural framework featuring classical columns and arches, which provide a sense of depth and spatial order to the busy gathering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTer Borch employs a technique of pen and ink combined with grey wash to define the forms and create tonal variation. The line work is fluid and descriptive, capturing the varied postures of the figures, from the seated woman in the foreground to the individuals reaching upwards toward the saint. The wash application adds volume to the drapery and depth to the shadows, grounding the figures within the architectural space. The artist demonstrates a clear interest in human interaction and the emotional weight of the narrative, focusing on the physical reality of the beggars and the compassionate gesture of the saint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a member of the prominent Ter Borch family of artists, Moses showed significant promise before his early death.

The work is preserved in a sketchbook format, which provides insight into the artist's private practice and his method of developing compositions through tonal variation rather than purely linear definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/the-rest-on-the-flight-into-egypt-giovanni-battista-tiepolo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eThe Rest on the Flight into Egypt - Giovanni Battista Tiepolo — Giovanni Battista Tiepolo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Moses ter Borch","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443022434639,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443026858319,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58443026891087,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443026923855,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443026956623,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443026989391,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443027022159,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443027054927,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443027087695,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58443027120463,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58443027153231,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58443027185999,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Flight-into-Egypt_Poster_CompositorV1_1786214772040.jpg?v=1786404458"},{"product_id":"the-ascension-of-elijah-moses-ter-borch","title":"The Ascension of Elijah - Moses ter Borch","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dramatic 1661 study by Moses ter Borch depicting the biblical ascension of Elijah, rendered in chalk and wash on blue paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drawing by Moses ter Borch depicts the biblical narrative of the prophet Elijah being taken up to heaven in a chariot of fire.
