Unknown Artist: Male Nude - 18th Century Engraving

-------------------------------------
Unfortunately there is no decipherable artist signature on this 18th century print. The publisher is listed as G.M. Preisler in the plate but beyond that I do not have any information about the origin, most probably German or French in origin. It is printed on thin hand-made paper. It was most probably intended as an educational tool for art students to copy. Enjoy.
