Painting Description
"Man Offering a Woman Coins," also known as "The Proposition," is a genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard ter Borch, created in 1662-63. This work is renowned for its subtle depiction of a moment of moral choice and the psychological interaction between the figures. The painting portrays an intimate scene where a man is seen offering coins to a young woman, who appears hesitant to accept the proposition. The work is often interpreted as a negotiation of a maid's virtue, a common theme in Dutch genre painting, which explored the complexities of social relationships and moral dilemmas.
Gerard ter Borch, born in Zwolle in 1617 and deceased in 1681, was a master of genre scenes and portraiture, celebrated for his ability to capture the textures of materials and the nuances of human expression. His works are characterized by a refined use of color and a keen observation of social interactions, often set in domestic interiors. "Man Offering a Woman Coins" is a prime example of Ter Borch's skill in rendering the subtleties of human behavior and his attention to detail, particularly in the depiction of the costumes and the interior setting.
The painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures approximately 36 x 32 cm. It is part of a series of works by Ter Borch that address the theme of soldiers and young women, reflecting the social issues of his time. The artist's ability to convey complex emotions and the moral undertones of his subjects has contributed to his lasting reputation as one of the leading Dutch genre painters of the 17th century.
"Man Offering a Woman Coins" is held in a prestigious collection and has been exhibited in various art museums around the world. It continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and is often discussed in the context of Ter Borch's oeuvre and the broader genre of Dutch genre painting. The painting's subtle storytelling and exquisite execution make it a significant work in the study of Dutch art and the representation of social themes in the Golden Age.
