Christian Friedrich Stölzel

Christian Friedrich Stölzel belongs to the German engravers of the late eighteenth century, working chiefly in engraving and turning his attention to portraiture. The archive holds a single sheet by his hand, a portrait of a young woman, engraved in 1786, with impressions up to that same year. Stölzel's concise line work and restrained tonal modelling place the piece within the portraiture conventions of his era, offering a compact example of his printmaking.
