He perfected techniques for engraving in gold and silver leaf, known as verre églomisé.
Zeuner's oeuvre consists mainly of town views, largely of Amsterdam, Haarlem, Utrecht and Groningen.
However, he also specialised in views of canal and harbour scenes as well as country houses, such as those on the Vecht and the Amstel near Amsterdam.
Zeuner used the distinctive technique of combining oil paint and engraved gold and silver leaf on glass.
Zeuner is believed to have lived in England between 1802 and 1806, during which time he produced several works depicting the English countryside and cities.
