VG.** Henriette Willebeek Le Mair (1889-1966) was a Dutch illustrator of children's books. Showing artistic talent from childhood, she was encouraged by her parents. Her first book “Premieres Rondes Enfantines” was published in France in 1904 when she was just 15 years old. Her most prolific period of work was between the years of 1911 to 1917. Like many other artists of the time, her work also appeared on sets of postcards and children’s china. Her style of characterisation is similar to Kate Greenaway. In 1920 she married Hubertus Paulus Baron van Tuyll van Serooskerken (1883–1958), the leader of the Sufi Movement in Netherlands, and adopted the name "Saida".
