Born in 1860, Schouten studied art at the Academy of Brussels from 1876-1881. His works were strongly influenced by rustic landscapes of painter Alfred Jacques Verwee. Schouten worked in both Holland and Belgium and he died in Brussels, Belgium in 1927.

In 1943, a posthumous retrospective of his work was held in the Hague.
