His style reflects his time in the studio of Peter Paul Rubens. Soutman focused on kinetic energy and physical tension. This is evident in works like Hippopotamus and Crocodile Hunt and Wolf and Fox Hunt. He used bold lines to capture the muscularity of animals and the chaos of the chase. Unlike many of his contemporaries who focused on quiet interiors, Soutman preferred the drama of the hunt and historical narratives. His compositions often use diagonal lines to suggest movement and scale.

Modern collectors value these prints for their graphic power and historical curiosity. Pieces such as A Turkish Prince on Horseback provide a window into how the Dutch Republic viewed the wider world. The large scale of his designs makes them effective for contemporary wall spaces that require a bold visual statement. His work offers a balance between traditional Dutch craftsmanship and the theatricality of the Flemish Baroque. These prints function as conversation pieces that bring historical drama into a home.
