'Corvi noctis' tapestry

Leistikow developed a decorative linear style that simultaneously separates and emphasizes his forms. He was active in the sphere of applied art, in particular designing posters, wallpapers and carpets. His favourite motifs were water, trees, and low-flying birds. The latter motif appears in the tapestry ‘Corvi noctis’ (Latin: ‘Ravens of the night’).
