Son of the preceding son (Charles Antoine Clause BERNY D'OUVILLE), he was a brilliant student who won second prize in Latin at the Concours général in 1828.

Renaud (sic), member of the Académie". This may be J.B. Regnault, but he does not appear on Brunet and Préaud's list of collaborators at the Manufacture de Sèvre." Framed under glass.
