Of his paintings, apart from the earlier altarpiece from the Matthäuskirche in Dresden, only the pulpit paintings of the Großröhrsdorf town church have survived. He was married to Anna Rosina (* around 1690, † January 10, 1766 in Dresden). Five of his children are known. The youngest son Johann David also became court painter at the Saxon royal court.
