The subject had been popular with aspiring Dutchwomen when they commissioned portraits from such painters as Gerard Terborch, since it advertised that they could write.
A new pictorial practice entered Holland through the art of Gerard Terborch, marking in effect a cultural decision to stop developing the group portrait as a genre.
Terborch did not scruple to pose his stepsister Gesina as a saleable beauty in a saleable libertine painting in the Queen's Gallery which, like its counterpart by Vermeer in the Berlin Gemaldegalerie, may be called The Glass of Wine.
