The Concert
Staatliche Museen, Berlin
Oil on canvas
Originally the figure playing a harpsichord represented a man. Ter Borch subsequently transformed the man into a woman, and a whimsical restorer, who worked on the picture at the end of the 19th century because of its bad state of presentation, changed the woman's gown and gave the model his wife's features.
