Biography engraver: Leendert Overbeek (1752-1815) was a Dutch engraver, painter, and innovator from Haarlem, trained by Hendrik Meijer. He served as a co-director of the Haarlem Drawing Academy from 1775, delivering published speeches. Overbeek developed a unique technique for drawing and etching with gold and silver on glass, which was lost after his death. He created decorative wall panels, hall adornments, landscapes, and book illustrations. Notable works include six landscapes with figures near Haarlem (1791-1793), two engravings depicting scenes from the 1807 Leiden explosion, and “De gestrande zeevisch,” a coastal scene. Known for his detailed and naturalistic style, Overbeek passed away in Haarlem on March 24, 1815, aged 63.
