His works are characterized by their detailed execution and the ability to capture the nuances of human interaction.

"The Important Guest" exemplifies ten Kate's skill in portraying social scenes with a narrative quality. The painting typically features a domestic setting, where the arrival of a significant visitor disrupts the usual routine of the household. The composition is carefully arranged to highlight the reactions of the various characters, each contributing to the overall story conveyed by the artwork. The meticulous attention to detail in the depiction of clothing, furnishings, and expressions adds depth and authenticity to the scene.

Ten Kate's use of light and color enhances the mood of the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures and their interactions. The artist's background in illustration and his training at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague are evident in the precision and clarity of his work. "The Important Guest" not only reflects the social customs and domestic life of the 19th century but also showcases ten Kate's ability to infuse his scenes with a sense of liveliness and character.
