De Witte family

The de Witte family is a Belgian noble family originating from the city of Antwerp.

The oldest known family ancestor is Adriaan de Witte [fr] (1464–1549), who was from Buerstede near Antwerp.

A 1544 portrait of him, painted by a student of Hans Holbein the Younger, is exhibited in the Rijksmuseum Twenthe in Enschede.
