He painted mainly landscapes, interiors of buildings, and views of large cities.

In collaboration with his son Richard Eschke, the master created murals and dioramas, including works for the Imperial Panorama in Berlin. His contribution to art was recognized with honors and medals, including the title of "Royal Professor" and the gold medal of the Berlin Artists' Association.
