Gerard ter Borch the Elder’s drawing of a boy with a kolf club, made in the first decades of the seventeenth century. A second great Dutch name on the wall, and the earliest drawing here of a single player rather than a crowd. It is a study, not a picture — drawn to learn the pose, and it keeps the looseness of that. Before the game had institutions it had children copying adults.
