Description   

Ter Borch delighted in the meticulous description of surfaces and the effects of golden light, seen here in the lush quality of the woman's red velvet jacket and her shimmering satin dress. These luxurious details contrast sharply with his rendering of the sparseness of the room. The figures' quiet expressions and graceful gestures create a harmonious mood evocative of the music being played.
