Paternal Admonition, also known as Gallant Conversation, is a renowned oil painting by Dutch artist Gerard Terborch, created around 1654. This artwork is celebrated for its intricate depiction of a seemingly mundane yet subtly complex interaction within a domestic setting. The painting is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The scene captures three figures: a standing man, a seated young woman, and an older woman, often interpreted as a maid. The central theme of the painting has been widely debated among art historians. Some suggest that the title "Paternal Admonition" implies a father advising his daughter, possibly about moral conduct. However, others argue that the interaction might be more commercially transactional, hinting at themes of prostitution, with the man being a client. This ambiguity adds a layer of psychological depth to the work, showcasing Terborch's skill in portraying complex social interactions.

Terborch's mastery in the use of color and light is evident, as he employs a subdued palette to enhance the intimate atmosphere of the indoor setting. The detailed rendering of textures, particularly in the clothing and furnishings, reflects his meticulous attention to detail and contributes to the overall realism of the painting.

Gallant Conversation is a prime example of genre painting, a style that Terborch excelled in, which focuses on scenes of everyday life. The painting not only offers a glimpse into 17th-century Dutch social customs but also serves as a platform for viewers to explore themes of morality, gender roles, and the socio-economic conditions of the time.
