The standing woman is receiving two guests. The man seems to have just arrived, as he still holds his hat in his hand. Ter Borch excelled in accurately rendering fabrics, such as the satin dress. Furthermore, he favoured ambiguous scenes, whereby the sentiments of his figures are difficult to determine. Here, too, the reason behind the gathering remains enigmatic.
