In his pictures the landscapes are depicted as intimate landscapes and atmospheric landscapes, which can be assigned to the impressionist genre. Furthermore, his work is strongly influenced by the Löfftz School.

His work The fourth Jägerbataillon at the railway bridge near Bazeilles on August 31, 1870 at the Munich Annual Exhibition in 1888 caused a stir because of its composition and technical implementation. It was finally acquired by Luitpold von Bayern for the royal Pinakothek .
