Specialist note


The Renouards were a distinguished Huguenot family from Sancerre, near Orleans. At the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 they fled to England and Holland, where David Renouard became a well-known Amsterdam merchant. His son, also called David, entered the army of William III, and was colonel of the 1st Royal Dragoons. The present portrait likely dates from the mid-1670s.
