The artist is known for his technical command of the copper plate. He often combined etching and engraving alongside aquatint to create dense textures. Peterdi focused on the physical world, particularly the cycles of nature and the power of the elements. He avoided simple representation. Instead, he used sharp lines and layered colours to suggest the movement of water or forest density. His work "Vertical Rocks" illustrates how he used verticality to create a sense of scale.

Collectors value Peterdi for his ability to make paper feel three-dimensional. His prints possess a physical weight that comes from deep incisions and heavy ink. These works suit contemporary spaces because they provide a sense of structure. They offer a sophisticated alternative to traditional nature scenes. His prints remain a staple for those who appreciate the intersection of technical skill and abstract form.
