This print showcases the artist in his studio, surrounded by his works in progress, brushes in hand, and a palette of rich colors before him.

He later studied at the Royal Academy Schools, where he honed his skills in figure drawing, composition, and historical research. Stone's dedication to accuracy and authenticity in his work earned him a reputation as one of the most accomplished history painters of his time. The Victorian era was a period of great interest in history and the arts, and Stone's paintings reflected this cultural fascination. His works often depicted scenes from classical mythology, Shakespearean plays, and English history, bringing these stories to life with vivid detail and emotional depth. Some of his most famous works include "The Meeting of Scipio and Laelius," "The Death of Marat," and "The Temptation of St. Anthony." Stone's commitment to historical accuracy extended beyond his art. He was an avid collector of antiquities and artifacts, and his studio was filled with objects that inspired his work.
