Coevershoff was born in Groningen but moved to Amsterdam where he trained as a painter. He was rediscovered by Isa van Eeghen who researched his Anatomy lesson of Dr. Zacheus de Jager.[1] His work shows that he was influenced by Hendrik Goltzius and Cornelis van Haarlem.[2] Besides Amsterdam and Enkhuizen he is known for working in The Hague, where he was one of the founders of the Confrerie Pictura in 1656.[2]

Coevershoff died in The Hague.
