He also engraved six hunting-pieces, after his brother Albrecht, at Milan, in 1813. Subsequently he painted landscapes and views of towns, which are executed with great accuracy. His Das neue München mit den Bauten König Ludwigs I. (1839), a view in oils of the Max-Josephs-Platz, surrounded by 14 smaller pictures of new buildings in Munich, mounted together in one frame, is in the collection of the Munich Stadtmuseum. A set of watercolours in a similar format is in the Metropolitan Museum in New York. He died in Munich in 1862.
