His works spanned various genres, showcasing his exceptional skill and attention to detail. One of his notable creations is "Church Interior, " painted in 1774 by Bernhard Schreuder. This masterpiece captures the serene beauty of a church, with its intricate architecture and soft lighting evoking a sense of tranquility.

The boy's curious gaze invites us into his world as he leans over the door, capturing our imagination. Another captivating piece is "Woman Seated on a Mule" by Johannes Kornlein from 1769. This painting exudes elegance and grace as it depicts a woman confidently perched atop her majestic mount. Ploos van Amstel also delved into portraying scenes of ordinary people like in "Drunken Peasant at an Inn" (1775) by Bernhard Schreuder. This artwork offers insight into the social dynamics of that era while highlighting Ploos van Amstel's ability to capture human emotions vividly. The artist showcased his talent for depicting animals through pieces such as "Seated Dog" (1777) and "Lying Dog" (1777), both created by Cornelis Brouwer. These paintings exhibit Ploos van Amstel's keen eye for detail and his ability to bring animals to life on canvas. Ploos van Amstel also explored pastoral themes in works like "Shepherd and Shepherdess with Their Flock, " published in 1765. This idyllic scene transports viewers to a peaceful countryside where shepherds tend their flock under clear blue skies.
