Sketches by Douglas Volk are primarily in pencil with some in ink and watercolor. Also found is a small oil-on-wood and a small oil-on-canvas sketch. Sketches in Volk's fifteen sketchbooks include landscapes, cityscapes of European cities including Venice and Rome, seascapes, figure studies, and studies from master paintings.
Artwork by others includes an ink and watercolor sketch of Hewnoaks by Wendell Volk (1905), and two sketchbooks of Wendell Volk that date from childhood, but also include some later designs; one sketchbook of Marion Volk Bridge, that also dates from childhood and contains some rug designs; multiple prints of an engraving of a portrait of Douglas Volk by E. G. Williams & Br., NY.; a sketch by Edmund Aubrey Hunt; and a sketch made around a photograph of a fireplace showing a fireplace and mantelpiece design, possibly by Gerome or Wendell Volk.
