Short Description: "Petrus Johannes (Pieter) van Bleeck (baptized 25 June 1697 in The Hague – 20 July 1764 in London) was a Dutch portrait painter and mezzotint engraver active in London, where he moved in 1723.

Van Bleeck is especially known for theatrical subjects such as Owen Swiny, Kitty Clive and Margaret Woffington, but he also worked on other subjects such as James Foster. His paintings were frequently engraved, particularly by John Faber Junior. Peter engraved a portrait of Ellen "Nell" Gwynne by Sir Peter Lely.

He was the son of Richard van Bleeck, also a portrait painter." - (en.wikipedia.org 05.05.2021)
