Albertus Verhoesen, who specialized in painting landscapes with dogs, small livestock and animal stables, became best known for his poultry scenes. He was born in Utrecht in 1806 and apprenticed in that city to the painter Bruno van Straaten. Later he received painting lessons from landscape painter Jan van Ravenswaay and from cattle painter Pieter Gerardus van Os. From 1824 to 1826 Verhoesen was part of the artists' colony in Hilversum. During these 'Hilversum years' he was probably taught by B. C. Koekkoek, who was also staying there at the time. In Amersfoort, Verhoesen worked for almost twenty years as a city drawing master (director of the local drawing school) . He was also an art dealer. In 1853 Verhoesen returned to Utrecht, where he died in 1881.
