Jacob Levecq

Jacob Levecq (1634–1675), né Jacques L'Evesque, who signed his name J. Leveck or J. L., and was also referred to as Jakob Lavecq, Jacobus Levecq, Jacobus L'Evesque, and Jacobus Lavecq, was a Dutch Golden Age painter trained by Rembrandt.

In his younger years Levecq travelled to Paris and Sedan where he painted portraits and on his return to Dordrecht became a portrait painter in the manner of Jan de Baen. When he died, Houbraken inherited a third of his prints, but regretted the fact that as a young man with little experience in such matters, he only chose prints by Lucas van Leyden and Albrecht Dürer, and had left the French prints for others, and so was very glad that he had received one anyway by Charles le Brun.
