Portrait of Gerard ter Borch by his son Moses

Gerard ter Borch (1583 in Zwolle – 1662 in Zwolle), was a Dutch Golden Age painter.

According to Arnold Houbraken, who referred to him as Gerard Terburg's father, he was a good painter who had spent many years in Rome and who was the first teacher of his better known son.[1]

According to the RKD, he was the pupil of Pieter de Molijn and became the father of the painters Gerard II, Gesina, Harmen and Moses.[2] He was in Italy during the years 1604–1611.[2]
