Bendorp focused on the quiet observation of daily life and the Dutch environment. His style is marked by a controlled use of light and a preference for muted tones. In works like 'Girl with a Kid', he avoids the grand theatricality of earlier centuries. He presents subjects with a directness that feels honest. He often used ink washes and watercolour to create depth without relying on heavy oil pigments.

The appeal of Bendorp for modern interiors lies in his restrained palette and clean compositions. His prints and paintings do not overwhelm a room with unnecessary detail. They offer a sense of calm that fits well with contemporary design. Collectors value his ability to capture a moment of stillness. His work offers a sophisticated look for those who prefer subtle art.
