He deepened his skills in perspective drawing with the architect and building inspector Daniel Stettner and with Johann Justin Preissler at the Nuremberg Academy of Painters , of which he later became a member. He made several sheets for the works Physiognomische Fragmente, to promote human knowledge and philanthropy and Jesus Messiah, or The Future of the Lord by Johann Caspar Lavater . He made the work Schwerin's Death in the Battle of Prague based on a template by Berger. His diligence and accuracy were praised.[3] The later engraver Christoph Wilhelm Bock apprenticed with him.
