A replica of the painting (some researchers consider it an authorial repetition, others that it is a copy) is held in the private collection of Peter and Olga Dresmann. Glass of Lemonade is typical of ter Borch's late oeuvre, moving away from simple genre scenes to depict the private life and intimate domestic scenes of the wealthy bourgeoisie.This painting was of the first examples of Dutch domestic scenes revealing an internal psychological connection between the characters.
