Schulman was initially trained as a jeweler by his father, a goldsmith and silversmith. Lion Schulman then studied with James de Rijk from 1866 to 1873 .

On the recommendation of " Arti et Amicitiae " he received a royal scholarship in 1880 for further training with Johannes Hermanus Barend Koekkoek . He also worked with Koekkoek in London for some time . Schulman opened art salons in Rotterdam (1890), Hilversum (1894) and Laren (1898). His son David Schulman helped him in the business in Laren. In 1895 Schulman organized the first major exhibition with works by painters from the Laren School . He married in 1880 and became the father of Johanna, Louis, David and Margot.
