"Workers in the vVneyard"

Dietrich was  successful copying the style of Rembrandt, and numerous examples of this  may be found in the galleries of St. Petersburg, Vienna and Dresden. At Dresden there are pictures acknowledged to be his, bearing the fictitious dates of 1636 and 1638, and the name of Rembrandt. Among Dietrich's reproductions of Ostade's manner is the Itinerant Singers at the National Gallery. 

Dietrich tried every branch of art except portraits, painting Italian and Dutch views alternately with scripture scenes and still life. He also created multiple engravings, a collection of which are at the British Museum and are inspired by Ostade and Rembrandt. 

Other Christian paintings by Dietrich include The Holy Family in a Carpenter's Ship, the Flight into Egypt, Christ Before the People andChrist's Entombment.
