Later he specialized mainly in watercolours and illustrations for newspapers, including the Fliegende Blätter. Following a longer sojourn in Berlin, Rosenstand moved to Heidelberg and finally to Baden-Baden. After the end of World War I, the artist moved to Dresden, where he participated in numerous exhibitions. In addition to landscapes, his main motifs were genre-like depictions, social scenes and coffee house scenes.
