Terburg, Pinx. Van Somer, fec. [lower left of image.]
F. de Wit Exc. [lower centre of image.]
Mezzotint, scarce, 265 x 220mm (10½ x 8½"). Cut to image.
A man sits disconsolately at a table, absent-mindedly toying with his snuffbox, with a friend looking at him across the table and a standing figure holding a straw-covered wine bottle. Engraved by Dutch mezzotinter Jan van Somer (c.1645-99) after Gerard Ter Borch's 'Scene at an Inn' (c. 1648/50, private collection). Unusually, Van Somer also made another print of the same scene, but in reverse. It has been said of the painting from which this print derives that 'no painting in Ter Borch's oeuvre conveys with such overwhelming power the emotion of loneliness and despair'. The model for the seated figure on the right was a member of the Spanish delegation to Munster for the signing of the 1648 treaty which made the United Netherlands independent from Spain. The same sitter appears in Ter Borch's famous painting of the ratification of that treaty.
Hollstein: 62; for the painting see 'Gerard ter Borch' (NGA, Washington, 2005, cat.15).

William Prince of Orange Father of King William the Third. From a Painting by Terburg in the Collection of Sir Joshua Van Neck Bar.t.
Engrav'd by Capt.n Baillie.
Publish'd Sep.r 20, 1771 [but John Boydell, c.1800].
Etching with drypoint. 280 x 250mm (11 x 9¾"), on wove paper, large margins. Paper toned and foxing.
Etching after the Dutch Golden Age painter, Gerard ter Borch (1617–81), it was painted around 1672 when the Prince visited Deventer, Netherlands. The portrait shows the Prince as a young man, depicted in riding gear and was engraved by Captain William Baillie (1723-1810). Baillie retired from the army in 1761 with the rank of Captain and thereafter devoted himself to printmaking and dealing. He specialised in imitating old-master drawings and prints, using a variety of printmaking techniques. A collection of Baillie's prints was issued by Boydell in 1792 and 1803; this example has a gilt fore-edge, indictating it had been bound.
