His artistic approach focused on domestic interiors and market squares. While many of his peers painted rowdy tavern scenes, Sorgh preferred the quiet dignity of the kitchen or the merchant stall. He used a palette of earthy colours and cool greys to define the physical weight of objects. In his portrait of Huybert Duyfhuys, he avoids caricature. He instead provides a factual account of his subject, paying attention to the fall of light on fabric.

Collectors today find a sense of balance in his compositions. His work records a society that valued order and the quality of material goods. These paintings do not demand attention through dramatic action. Instead, they invite the viewer to observe the textures of a fish market or the stillness of a room. His art provides a historical record of Rotterdam that feels grounded. It is a choice for those who appreciate technical skill applied to the humble details of life.
