The work of Claude, his father, Thomas Cooper and his brother, Reuben Arthur (usually called Rubens) is similar in character and variety; all sought charming urban and rural scenes, coastal scenes and seascapes in The British Isles and Western Europe.

Reuben (Rubens) has one painting in the collection of the Merchant Adventurers' Hall in York, two in The British Postal Museum & Archive and others in the Nottingham Castle Museum collection, while their father has a number of paintings in Nottingham Castle Museum and also in the Nottinghamshire Archives, Nottingham Central Library, and Nottinghamshire County Hall.
