In Vienna, he painted for the Archduke Ferdinand Karl amongst others, and displayed his work at exhibitions at the Viennese Künstlerhaus. In 1899 and 1906 he also exhibited work with Egyptian motifs at the Munich Glass Palace and the Royal Academy Exhibition in London. Today, most of Kosler’s work is in the hands of English private collectors.
