1651 (ca.), Gerard ter Borch the Younger, A Young Woman at Her Toilet with a Maid -- Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York)

From the museum label: Ter Borch shows a well-off young woman adjusting the ribbons of her bodice in front of a dressing table, while an adolescent maid waits with a basin, linen towel, and pitcher of water. The artist's trademark virtuosity appears in the gleam of polished silver and metallic thread, the iridescence of pink satin, and the velvety pile of an upholstered chair.
