or Blooteleng, Abraham, an engraver who flourished about the year 1672. He was a native of Amsterdam, and designed as well as engraved. From the style of his etchings, which have great merit, he is supposed to have frequented the school of the Visschers. He came into England about the year 1672, or 1673, at the time the French in- vaded Holland; but he did not reside there long. He not only etched, but also treated, several mezzotintos, which were much esteemed. Vertue informs us, that whilst he was in England, he received 30 guineas for an etching of the duke of Norfolk. From hence he returned to Amsterdam, where, in all probability, he died. In the year 1685, he published at Amsterdam the gems of Leonardo Augustino, and etched the plates himself.
