"The Paternal Admonition" (also known as "Gallant Conversation") is a renowned genre painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Gerard ter Borch (or Terborch), created around 1654. This oil on canvas masterpiece is a quintessential example of Terborch's skill in capturing the subtleties of human interaction and the textures of luxurious fabrics. The painting measures 71 cm by 73 cm and is part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The scene depicted in "The Paternal Admonition" is one of domestic intimacy, yet it is open to interpretation. It portrays two women and a man in a 17th-century interior. Traditionally, the painting was thought to show a father admonishing his daughter, with the mother or a chaperone present. However, modern scholarship often interprets the scene as a client negotiating with a procuress and a young woman, possibly a courtesan. This ambiguity is a testament to Terborch's nuanced approach to narrative in his work.

Terborch's mastery in rendering textures is evident in the satin gown worn by the young woman, which is depicted with remarkable realism. The artist's attention to detail extends to the expressions and body language of the figures, which convey a complex web of social and emotional dynamics. The painting's composition, use of light, and the psychological depth it portrays are characteristic of Terborch's style and contribute to its status as a significant work in the history of Dutch painting.

"The Paternal Admonition" has been widely studied and admired for its artistry and the insight it provides into the customs and moral concerns of 17th-century Dutch society. It remains a subject of scholarly interest and is frequently included in discussions of genre painting and the work of Gerard ter Borch.
