Verveer lived and worked in The Hague. He painted town and village scenes, views of water and beach and dune scenes. The romantic atmosphere and bright colours of the work he made around 1840 reveal the influence of his young friend W.J.J. Nuijen, who died prematurely. He subsequently painted with a natural light and without any romantic motifs like ruins or reflecting rivers. His paintings were a huge success with his contemporaries. His best known student was Jan Weissenbruch.
