Johann Friedrich Bolt - (1769-1836) . Engraving Standing Male Nude - Late 18th Century

I was researching the works of Gastonm Goor tonight when I ran across this beautiful engraving of a standing male nude. It is by the German artist Johann Friedrich Bolt (1769-1836). Johann Friedrich Bolt was a German artist and etcher / engraver who studied and worked with the artist Daniel Berger and was close to Johann Gottfried Schadow. He was known for his classical themes, reproductions of the works of the old masters and for portraits often executed as stipple engravings or mezzotints. I thought I would share it with you.
