Although Gerard ter Borch did not pursue a career as a professional artist, he continued to draw throughout his life. He also instructed five of his thirteen children (from three marriages) in the rudiments of drawing. Along with copying prints, limning family members was a useful exercise. The artist here probably drew a portrait of his daughter Sara.
