Johannes Evert Akkeringa dipinse squisite nature morte di fiori, ma è meglio conosciuto per le sue scene di dune e spiagge popolate da pescatrici e bambini. Queste sono spesso gioviali vedute olandesi che catturano le donne che lavorano felici mentre i bambini giocano nella sabbia sotto un cielo azzurro e nuvole alte. È considerato uno degli artisti della tarda scuola dell'Aia.
