He became a pupil of Bernhard Vogel, and later, for two years, of his brother Johan Martin Preisler in Copenhagen. After the death of Vogel, he finished the engraved edition of the paintings of Jan Kupecký, initially started by Vogel, and published in Nuremberg in 1745. He was a refined artist who left many works. He is among others remembered for his portraits of famous composers such as Georg Philipp Telemann, Carl Heinrich Graun, Johan Agrell and Ignazio Fiorillo.
