From 1841 until his death in 1886, he created, first on his own initiative and later primarily for publications of the Imperial and Royal Austrian Alpine Association, numerous pencil drawings and watercolors exclusively from nature with landscape views from the Austrian, Bavarian, Italian, French and Swiss Alps, as well as from towns, villages and castles in the countries of the Danube Monarchy and in Bavaria. Leifer also created mountain panoramas in pencil and watercolor. -- Works by Wilhelm Leifer are very rare today. The Lower Austrian State Library owns a watercolor painting by him of Franzhausen Castle in Nussdorf ob der Traisen. (see exhibition catalogue: The district of St. Pölten in old views. St. Poelten, 2013. Fig. 22). We have not been able to find any of his work in the trade over the last 100 years. -- Very rare. Wilhelm Leifer came from near Brixen.
