Painting in Holland. 531 Young Lady with the ewer, and the Lady in the satin gown, both in the Dresden Gallery ; Paternal Advice (Con- seil Paternel) of the Amsterdam Museum, of which replicas are in the Berlin Museum and at Bridgwater House. Adriaan Jansz, van Ostade (1610 — 1685), studied under Frans Hals, and formed a friendship with Adriaen Brouwer. Like the latter, he chose his subjects from low life, but he was more laborious and less dissipated, and has accordingly left us more works. Although Van Ostade's usual subjects are similar to those treated by Teniers, he yet differs from Teniers as Rembrandt differs from Rubens.
