# Helena van der Schalcke as a Child [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [TERBORCH, Gerard]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on panel, 34 x 29 cm ## Commentary Helena van der Schalcke as a Child c. 1644 Oil on panel, 34 x 29 cm Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam In 1635-36 Terborch was in London where he acquired familiarity with the English court portraiture. During the 1640s he began to make extraordinary small and miniature portraits. One of the most touching is his tiny portrait of Helena van der Schalcke as a Child, which holds his own when hung next to the pictures Hals and Rembrandt made of children. ## Related artworks - [A Concert]() - [A Lady Reading a Letter]() - [A Woman Spinning]() - [A Young Woman Playing a Theorbo to Two Men]() - [An Officer Writing a Letter]() - [Boy Ridding his Dog of Fleas]() - [Burgomaster Jan van Duren]() - [Card-Players]() - [Curiosity]() - [Lady at her Toilette]() - [Lady Reading a Letter \(detail\)]() - [Man Offering a Woman Coins]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
