During the summer he went on study hikes in all parts of Bavaria and devoted himself almost exclusively to landscape painting. He left numerous watercolors, among other things, from Lake Constance (1806 ), from Passau, the Upper Palatinate (1807 ) and the Wettersteingebirge. Since 1810, he turned increasingly to oil painting.

He was one of the members of the art academies in Hanau, Berlin and Munich.

The king, who repeatedly ankaufte paintings by Cartwright and gave away to friendly courts, appointed him in 1815 as a curator at the Royal Picture Gallery. After 1820, he was limited to simple motifs and has been giving its exact nature studies on the precursors of the Upper Bavarian landscape painting of the Munich school. In close connection with this, he was also involved in animal painting.

He left numerous landscape and animal representations, as well as a series of templates for drawing lessons, the southern German characters schools long served as a model and exerted a strong influence on the next generation. In his excursions in the near surroundings of Munich a servant had to accompany him, who wore the prepared stone slab on the shoulders. This car maker is spared the operation of sketching on site. The prints were laid in the First Lithographic Art Institute, which was affiliated with the Munich school holiday.
