Fifteen of Arnoud Schaepkens’s prints are currently represented in museum collections, establishing the preservation and scholarly credibility of the material. The most notable collection holding these works is the Rijksmuseum.

The preserved works cover diverse thematic material. Examples include the religious piece Annunciatie, the historical subject Christoffel Columbus ontfermt zich over een kind, and detailed studies such as Buste van een meisje, in profiel.
