After the death of his father, the young Akkeringa was sent to The Hague and stayed with family in the Netherlands, together with his brother and sister. The three children grew up in the household of an aunt. The rural surroundings of The Hague were a source of inspiration for him.
He is best known for his beach scenes with fishermen and children playing in the garden. Also known for conversing figures in a leafy environment.

Johannes Evert Akkeringa pintó exquisitos bodegones de flores, pero es más conocido por sus escenas de dunas y playas pobladas de pescadoras y niños. A menudo, estas son vistas joviales holandesas que capturan a las mujeres que trabajan felizmente mientras los niños juegan en la arena bajo un cielo azul y nubes altas. Se le considera como uno de los artistas fallecidos de la Escuela de La Haya.
