The Mauritshuis museum in The Hague is one of my favorites, and in that museum my favorite artist is Gerard ter Borch (1617-1681)
The painting on the left and the one in the middle flank 'The girl with the pearl earring by Vermeer. Also beautiful ofcourse, but Ter Borch moves me every time.
Not only for the way he paints the pleats in the different fabrics so brilliantly, or for his everyday subjects, but also for the endearing turn-up noses of his subjects
