The artist used a precise technique to capture textures and surfaces. In De groentevrouw, he shows the daily life of a market seller with careful attention to detail. His portraits, such as Portret van Carel Lodewijk Hansen and Portret van Cornelia Helena Anna Christiani, avoid dramatic poses. Instead, he presents his subjects with a calm, steady gaze. This approach creates a sense of stillness and order in his compositions.

Modern collectors often select these prints for their balanced compositions and soft colour palettes. Pieces like his Zelfportret van Lambertus Johannes Hansen provide a window into nineteenth-century Dutch life without historical drama. The focus on domesticity and light makes his work suitable for contemporary interiors. His paintings offer a quiet presence that fits well in a minimalist or traditional home.
