Henriette Willebeek le Mair

Henriette Willebeek le Mair (Rotterdam, April 23, 1889 — March 15, 1966) was a Dutch illustrator of children's books.[1]

She married Hubertus Paulus Baron van Tuyll van Serooskerken (1883–1958), the leader of the Sufi Movement in Netherlands, in 1920, and adopted the name "Saida". They settled in The Hague, Netherlands.[1]

Although she illustrated a relatively limited number of books, her work is considered classical. According to the article "The turbine 'Patria' of the Rotterdam Lloyd" in the journal Nederlandsch Indië Oud & Nieuw 4 (1919–1920) 8, December 1919, 227–256, Willbeek le Mair made wall decorations of the nursery on 'Patria'.
