Caspar Netscher, a pupil of Ter Borch, was one of the most refined genre painters of the Dutch Golden Age, specializing in elegant scenes of fashionable society. His small-scale paintings of women in silk dresses engaged in quiet domestic activities were highly prized by collectors for their exquisite handling of fabric textures and their intimate, tranquil mood.
