Ter Borch's works are comparatively rare, only about eighty have been catalogued.


The Dutch Revolt, or Eighty Years' War (1566-1648), was the revolt of the Seven United Provinces of the Netherlands against the Spanish (Habsburg) Empire. The Ratification of the Treaty of Münster between the Spaniards and the Dutch of 1648 is highly upheld as exemplary of Ter Borch's work.
