"Girl in Peasant Costume. Probably Gesina, the Painter's Half-Sister" is a 17th-century painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard ter Borch. This artwork is notable for its intimate portrayal of a young woman, believed to be Ter Borch's half-sister, Gesina ter Borch, dressed in a rustic peasant costume. The painting exemplifies Ter Borch's mastery of capturing the textures of fabrics and the subtleties of human expression, which are characteristic of his genre works and portraiture.

Gerard ter Borch (1617–1681) was a prominent figure in Dutch art, renowned for his small-scale domestic scenes and his ability to convey the psychological complexity of his subjects through detailed and nuanced brushwork. His works often feature figures in contemporary attire, and he had a particular talent for depicting the interaction of light with different materials, such as satin and velvet.

The painting "Girl in Peasant Costume" is executed in oil on panel and is a testament to Ter Borch's skill in rendering the play of light on different textures and surfaces. The subject's costume is depicted with meticulous attention to detail, from the folds of the fabric to the sheen of the material. The young woman's gaze, slightly averted, adds to the sense of a candid moment captured in time, a hallmark of Ter Borch's portraiture.

While the identity of the model as Gesina ter Borch is not definitively established, it is a plausible attribution given the known practice of artists using family members as models during this period. Gesina was also an artist in her own right, and her close relationship with her half-brother may have provided the intimate context for this portrayal.

The painting is significant within Ter Borch's oeuvre as it provides insight into the artist's personal life and his artistic environment. It also contributes to the broader understanding of Dutch Golden Age portraiture and genre painting, offering a glimpse into the cultural and social norms of the time through the lens of costume and individual likeness.

"Girl in Peasant Costume. Probably Gesina, the Painter's Half-Sister" remains an important work for scholars and enthusiasts of Dutch art, as it encapsulates the technical proficiency and emotional depth that define Gerard ter Borch's enduring legacy in the history of European art.
