As a painter, Stieler initially orientated himself on the work of his teacher Karl Theodor von Piloty, for example with the gravedigger scene from Hamlet that was created while studying at the academy and was shown on the occasion of the Berlin academic art exhibition of 1877. Then he switched to motifs from the Upper Bavarian peasant and village "folk life", such as First Artist Sufferings (1879), The Poachers (1880), The Four Temperaments (1882), which showed a village host with three local guests playing cards in a Bavarian room, or in the Volkstheater (1883). Compositions like The Old Cradle (1887), The Lord Parish Council , Age does not protect against folly or haste with a while! became known for their reproduction as a wood engraving in the popular magazines Die Gartenlaube or Universum .
