About the work
Clients who could not afford more elaborate coloured drawings with numerous figures might buy a simpler drawings of a single figure. Adriaen van Ostade must have made many images of single subjects like these, which took hardly any time to complete.

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.
