Wilder was a talented draftsman who had acquired his skills in the artistic field as an autodidact . Thematically, he had mainly turned to the landscape subject, but was also active as an architectural draftsman. He found the motifs in his hometown and in the vicinity of Nuremberg. He preferred romantic corners and hidden building details, which he reproduced with great meticulousness . He carried out etchings based on his own designs as well as on templates from other artists.
