Gerard ter Borch (II) (1617-1681), copy after, around 1700 'Boy Fleaing a Dog' Oil on canvas Professionally restored (cleaned and relined) In modern frame in 17th century style Dimensions excl. frame: 33 x 27,5 cm. Dimensions incl. frame: approx. 50 x 45,5 cm. Depcited is a boy busy fleaing a dog. The boy sits on a chair with the dog on his lap. On a table on the right there is a book and a pen. On a wooden bench lies the boy's hat. What is unique about this painting by Ter Borch, is the relationship that is depicted between human and animal. Mostly animals like dogs where depicted as an attribute in paintings in the 17th century, and sometimes used to symbolize certain character traits. This boy is lovingly caring for his dog, which he is giving his full attention. Another interesting detail is that Ter Borch's brother Moses, was probably the model for this painting. Ter borch often used family members as models for his paintings. Moses was also a very talented painter and draughtsman. Several copies of this work by Ter Borch are known. One of these copies is in the collection of the Dutch Rijksmuseum (Image included in the image gallery (last image)). The original painting is in the collection of the Alte Pinakothek museum in Munich, Germany.

Nico Vrielink (Reusel, 1958) “Female Nude, Jeane” Signed lower left Nico Vrielink and dated 2006 Oil on canvas Frame included (traces of wear) Nico Vrielink was born in 1958 in Reusel (North Brabant, The Netherlands) At a young age he aspired to an artistic career and studied at the Academy of Arts in Belgium.

That meeting would be a real turning point in his life, Jeane and Nico are inseparable after their meeting and he makes around 6000 paintings depicting her. Nico Vrielink's work is part of important Museum collections, corporate and private collections and six books have now been published about the work and life of this exceptional artist. His paintings are sold worldwide and he has exhibited more than 500 times, including in cities such as San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Las Vegas, Miami, Hawaii, Washington DC, Berlin, Frankfurt, Djakarta, Singapore, Shanghai , Beijing, Amsterdam, London, Brussels, Paris, Vienna, Toronto and Sydney. Nico Vrielink works according to the academic method, from dark to light. In addition to his most famous subject Jeane, another theme is also particularly close to his heart, Eastern mysticism. In the paintings he makes of Jeane, too, we see that she gradually becomes more serene and reserved on canvas, and the backgrounds are also increasingly imbued with mysticism. In 2010, the intense relationship with Jeane came to an end. The erotic woman...
