She painted portraits and landscapes in oil, gouache and watercolor, made woodcuts and bowls, boxes, lamps made of brass, silver jewelry and textile work. In 1912, Saxl-Deutsch designed the poster Den women their rights . The poster was used several times by the KPÖ , the SPÖ and in the new women's movement of the 1970s without referring to the MSAXL signature or without respecting the artist's copyright, which was in effect until 2013.
