Born in Rotterdam, Sorgh became a pupil of David Teniers the Younger and Willem Pieterszoon Buytewech.[1] Sorgh painted mostly interiors with peasants. His kitchen interiors feature elaborate still lifes. He also painted market scenes, portraits, and marine and historical scenes. Sorgh's works include, for example, A Man Writing, Interior with Jacob and Esau, and A Kitchen.
He was married to Adriaantje Hollaer, known for her portrait, painted by Rembrandt, that was pictured on the Dutch 100-guilder banknote, printed from 1947 - 1950.
