William Hahn was born in Germany, where he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden and the Düsseldorf Academy. The student body at the Düsseldorf Academy included many Americans, and Hahn later moved to the United States to reunite with his friend, the California artist William Keith. The two artists shared a studio and were active members of the San Francisco artistic community.
