Nov. 30 (overcast, 40's) was a good day for cycling. Rode downtown to visit the National Gallery. The works of the Dutch artist Gerard ter Borch were excellent. He is known for how well he could depict satin in oil, and his paintings shimmer with color and light. His domestic scenes were the best, including A Maid Milking a Cow in a Barn and The Grinder’s Family. I mainly wanted to check out the show Six Centuries of Prints and Drawings: Recent Acquisitions. For some reason the show was disappointing. I think I was a little overwhelmed by the volume of work, spread out over 4 or 5 galleries, and I hurried through. Afterwards I was hard put to remember any outstanding works. I plan to return.
