"Portrait of a Lady, Standing Small Three-Quarter Length, Wearing a Black Dress with Lace Chemise, Pearl Necklace and Pearl Earrings" is a notable work by the Dutch Golden Age painter Gerard ter Borch (1617–1681). Ter Borch was renowned for his ability to capture the texture of materials, the subtlety of human expressions, and the quiet elegance of his subjects. This painting, dating from the mid-17th century, is an exquisite example of his portraiture work and showcases his meticulous attention to detail and his mastery of capturing the nuances of light and shadow.

The portrait depicts an unidentified woman, rendered with the refined brushwork and keen observation characteristic of Ter Borch's style. She stands in a small three-quarter length pose, which was a common format in Dutch portraiture, allowing the artist to present a more intimate and detailed depiction of the subject. The lady's attire is of particular interest; she is dressed in a black gown with a lace chemise, a fashion typical of the Dutch upper class in the 17th century. The black dress, often associated with formality and modesty, contrasts with the delicate white lace, suggesting a balance between austerity and luxury. Her pearl necklace and earrings further emphasize her status and the cultural significance of pearls as symbols of wealth and virtue during the period.

The painting is not only a representation of an individual but also serves as a reflection of the social and cultural norms of the Dutch Republic's prosperous society. Ter Borch's portraits are celebrated for their psychological depth and the dignified restraint of his subjects, and this work is a prime example of his skill in portraying the inner life of the sitter through subtle gestures and expressions.

As with many of Ter Borch's portraits, the provenance and historical context of this particular painting provide insights into the art market and collecting practices of the time. The work is held in high regard for its historical significance and its contribution to the understanding of 17th-century Dutch portraiture. It remains an important piece for scholars studying the period and for art enthusiasts who appreciate the enduring beauty of Ter Borch's oeuvre.
