The focus of Richter-Damm's work is on landscapes, genre scenes, still lifes and portraits. He found his motifs mainly in Upper Bavaria. The landscape of the Alps and the Alpine foothills are just as much a part of it as the people who live there in their typical national costumes. Richter-Damm is influenced by the Munich school and is shaped by naturalism.
