After a long residence at Harlem, the approach of the French troops, in i67a, threw Van Ostade into such alarm that he determined to sell his furniture and effects and return to his own country'', to shelter himself against the chances of war. Having gone to Amsterdam to embark, an amateur, named Constantine Senneport, induced him to remain with him for some time, and shewed him the advantage he would find in taking up his abode in a town where his works were highly esteemed. Ostade, in short, never after quitted the capital of Holland,and notwithstanding his close application to labour, had great difficulty in executing all the orders that he received.
