"Paternal Admonition" (Dutch: "De vaderlijke vermaning") is a celebrated 17th-century painting by the Dutch artist Gerard Terborch, a prominent figure of the Dutch Golden Age. Created circa 1654-1655, this oil on canvas masterpiece is renowned for its exquisite detail, subtle interplay of light and shadow, and the psychological depth it brings to an intimate domestic scene. The painting is housed in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin, and stands as a testament to Terborch's mastery in capturing the nuances of everyday life with a remarkable sense of realism and emotional resonance.

The artwork depicts a moment of private conversation between two figures, traditionally interpreted as a father admonishing his daughter. However, interpretations of the scene have varied over time, with some scholars suggesting alternative readings that challenge the conventional understanding of the subjects' relationship and the nature of their interaction. The painting's title, "Paternal Admonition," itself has been a subject of debate, reflecting the complexities and ambiguities inherent in Terborch's work.

Terborch's skillful use of light, texture, and color brings a tactile quality to the scene, drawing viewers into the intimate space shared by the figures. The artist's attention to detail, from the intricate lace and satin fabrics to the expressive gestures and gazes of the subjects, showcases his ability to convey rich narratives within the confines of a single, quiet moment. "Paternal Admonition" is celebrated not only for its technical brilliance but also for its capacity to evoke a range of interpretations and emotional responses, making it a pivotal work in the oeuvre of Gerard Terborch and a significant piece in the history of Dutch painting.
