Schut developed a style that favoured large, energetic compositions. He often filled his canvases with numerous figures arranged in swirling, circular patterns. Unlike some of his contemporaries who focused on still life or quiet interiors, Schut specialised in religious and mythological scenes. His etchings were distinct for their light touch and clear lines. He frequently used these prints to distribute his larger painted designs to a wider audience across Europe.

Modern collectors value Schut for his ability to organise complex scenes without losing clarity. His work, such as The Coronation of the Virgin by the Christ Child, offers a sense of movement that fits well in contemporary spaces. The balance of classical Roman influence and Flemish technical skill makes his prints versatile. They provide a visual record of the Counter-Reformation period while maintaining a graphic quality that suits modern interiors.
