David de Noter (1825 – 1875) was born into a family of artists in Brussels. His father, Jean-Baptiste, was a painter of city scenes and interiors, and his uncle, Pierre Francois, was a sculptor, painter and designer. David's brother, Raphael, also became a painter; and the style and subjects done by the brothers share similar qualities. During the 1860’s, de Noter lived and worked in Paris and was known to have shared a studio with J. Goupil in 1864 and at Le Vésinet in 1867. At some point during his career, he toured North Africa, in particular, Algeria.
