Attempted flight to Lübeck in the "year of disaster"
In 1672 (the "rampjaar") Ostade packed up his belongings intending to flee to Lübeck, but got only as far as Amsterdam, where the collector Constantijn Sennepart persuaded him to stay. In his house the artist created a series of colored drawings, later bought by Jonas Witsen for 1,300 florins.
