Ref: sk-a-5124
Moses ter Borch died in the Second Anglo-Dutch War at the age of 22. Shortly thereafter, his older sister Gesina painted a portrait of him as a two-year-old as a memento and tribute. We see him beating a drum, surrounded by toy weapons that allude to the virtues of courage and patriotism. The message seems to be that he was fearless, even as a toddler.
