Biography

Gesina ter Borch was born on 15 November 1633 in Deventer in the Dutch Republic. She was the daughter of Gerard ter Borch the Elder and the half-sister of Gerard ter Borch, who taught her to draw and paint, and who painted her and other members of the family several times. After the loss of her younger brother, Moses, to the Second English War, Gesina's work conveyed her deep sadness.[1] She lived her whole life on the Sassenstraat in Zwolle, where she died on 16 April 1690.[2]
