Von Ende was one of the artists who had a preference for courtly genre scenes in the 19th century and who took up the Rococo again. He exhibited his works at major exhibitions in Munich, Vienna and Berlin . From 1886 to 1889 he took part in Berlin academy exhibitions, from 1891 to 1894 in major Berlin art exhibitions .

Von Ende was married to Elisabeth Hartmann (1871–1942), a daughter of the machine manufacturer and railway pioneer Richard Hartmann and sister of the entrepreneur and economic advisor Gustav Hartmann . In 1882, through his sister Margarethe , who was two years older than him , he became the brother-in-law of the industrialist Friedrich Alfred Krupp , whose family he advised on matters of art, such as the acquisition of paintings for the Villa Hügel . Von Ende's brother Siegfried embarked on a military career. Their common uncle was Count Felix von Königsdorff .
