(1) Abraham van Strij I
(b Dordrecht, 31 Dec 1753; d Dordrecht, 7 March 1826). His father and Joris Ponse (1723–83), his two teachers, were decorative painters. Abraham studied at the Antwerp Koninklijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten but may not have actually attended classes. In 1774, together with several other artists, he founded the Dordrecht drawing society Pictura for which a building was purchased in 1796. In 1783 Abraham married Sophia Vermeulen and in 1789 bought a house on the Voorstraat in Dordrecht.
