Ten Cate was known for his landscape and cityscape paintings, often capturing the picturesque and atmospheric qualities of Dutch scenery. "A Fair by Night" is a notable example of his work that depicts a lively night scene at a fair. The painting is characterized by its detailed portrayal of the festivities, with various figures engaging in merriment and commerce under the glow of lanterns and moonlight.

The artwork reflects ten Cate's skill in rendering light and shadow, as well as his ability to capture the vibrancy of social gatherings. The use of chiaroscuro in the painting enhances the contrast between the illuminated areas of the fair and the surrounding darkness of the night, creating a sense of depth and realism.
