Intussen, in het leven van Adriaen Brouwer
Het hele leven1631–1638
Debts and want in Antwerp
Brouwer's name regularly appears in Antwerp records in connection with the settlement of his debts; in his lifetime his paintings did not fetch high prices, and his household goods were seized for his creditors. His fellow artists valued him more highly than the market did: Rubens bought several of his pictures for his collection and tried to extend his patronage to the “incorrigible carouser”.

Circumstances of his death in Antwerp
Early biographers linked his untimely death to his lifestyle and abuse of alcohol, while Houbraken attributes it to the plague; the fact that his remains were first buried in a common grave supports the latter. A month later, on 1 February 1638, his artist friends arranged, on their own initiative and at their own expense, a solemn re-interment in the Carmelite church.
