He avoids unnecessary ornamentation, preferring to document the physical reality of the space. This methodical style results in images that maintain a sense of order and quietude.

The prints of the Geertekerk offer a perspective on Dutch interiors that feels grounded and objective. They fit well in spaces where a calm, structured aesthetic is preferred, as they provide a direct visual link to the past without decorative excess.
