He also painted in oils, several of which are presently located at galleries in Karlsruhe, Munich, Mainz and Leipzig. These works include "Schlacht des Arminius" (Battle of Arminius) and "Einzug Ottos des Großen in das befreite Augsburg am Abend nach dem Sieg auf dem Lechfeld" (Entry of Otto the Great into Augsburg after victory at Lechfeld). In 1848 he was commissioned as court painter at Meiningen, but died soon afterwards at the age of 42.
