Painter and servant to the merchant de la Grange
As his paintings did not bring in enough to live on, De Hooch took service with the wealthy linen merchant Justus de la Grange and accompanied him on journeys to Leiden, The Hague and Delft. An inventory of de la Grange's property lists eleven paintings by De Hooch.

Death of his wife
The painter's wife died at the age of 38, leaving him to care for a young family; the loss seriously affected his state of mind and his work.

The Rampjaar: war with France
The war with France in 1672 — the Rampjaar, the 'disaster year' — sharply worsened the country's economy, and paintings sold poorly. That same year De Hooch's third son was baptised.
