During the Austro-Hungarian campaign in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878 and 1879, Quiquerez composed several sketches and drawings of Austro-Hungarian troops led by general Josip Filipović entering Bosanski Brod. In Marija Bistrica, Quiqerez painted 22 frescoes along the arcades of the newly built church which depicted miracles granted by the Blessed Virgin Mary. He also composed drawings of the former monastery in Lepoglava before the great earthquake of 1880 caused significant damage.
