# Portrait of Catarina van Leunink [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [TERBORCH, Gerard]() - Date: 1651-1700 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 80 x 59 cm ## Commentary Portrait of Catarina van Leunink after 1654 Oil on canvas, 80 x 59 cm The Hermitage, St. Petersburg In the 1640s Terborch developed a type of small full-length portrait with a neutral background and often returned to it in his late period when depicting wealthy burgers. This model's magnificent dress enabled the artist to demonstrate his virtuoso skill in conveying fabrics while the subtle colour scheme recalls the finest examples of English miniature portraiture and the gala pictures of van Dyck, with which he had become acquainted in London. ## 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]() - [Helena van der Schalcke as a Child]() - [Lady at her Toilette]() - [Lady Reading a Letter \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
