He mainly painted lyrical pictures, delicately tinged “psyches” and spring nymphs, lovers who xylographed their intertwined monogram heart-shaped in an old linden or beech tree . Under the title Frauenlob , Beyschlag created an international collection of beautiful women's heads representing different centuries. According to the recipe of the then "historical" direction, Beyschlag painted a fresco in the gallery of the Bavarian National Museum . Then he began again the repertoire with which he was quite familiar with seemingly family scenes, whereby the entertaining humor won the artist new friends. In the former Bavarian National Museum (now the Museum of Five Continents ) a historical picture has been preserved as a fresco.

Beyschlag is considered to be the master of the transition from Biedermeier to Wilhelminian style painting.
