Lion Schulman (1851-1943), father of Dutch painter David Schulman, was a painter and owned art shops in Hilversum and Laren. David Schulman painted mainly landscapes and townscapes, often winter scenes, and portraits and still lifes, primarily in a naturalistic and impressionistic style. In World War II, in 1943, Schulman was picked up by the Germans and was imprisoned for three months in Westerbork, but escaped with the aid of friends. His home and studio were occupied by the Germans. In 1955, David Schulman was made a Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau. His entry Regatta on the Kagermeer is reproduced in the catalog of the 1928 art competitions.
