Scenes from village life predominate in Winter's genre representations. Among other things, he painted the painting Gypsies, which is now in private hands . One focus of his artistic work is his horse pictures. Artistically a little less important are his war pictures, for which he went back to his own experiences and painted them from his soul in this way.
