The artistic approach of Bendorp focused on the graphic clarity of the line. His work often depicts the quiet rituals of Dutch domestic life. In "Two men in conversation by the fireside" and "Mother by a child in a cradle," he captures the atmosphere of the home without unnecessary clutter. He frequently integrated text into his portraiture to record the identity of his subjects. This method turned his prints into historical documents as much as works of art.

Modern collectors appreciate the minimalist quality of his silhouettes. These prints possess a stark, black-and-white aesthetic that complements contemporary design. His genre prints offer a factual look at nineteenth-century interiors and social interactions. These prints are ideal for those who prefer small-scale art with historical weight. The directness of his style ensures that the prints remain clear and legible across different sizes.
