STONE (184o— )  , English painter, son of Frank Stone, A.R.A., was trained by his father and began to exhibit at the Academy before he was eighteen; and a few years later he illustrated with much success books by Charles Dickens, Anthony Trollope, and other writers, friends of his family . He was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1877, and academician in 1887 . In his earlier pictures he dealt much with historical incidents, but in his later work he occupied himself chiefly with a particular type of dainty sentiment, treated with much charm, refinement and executive skill . One of his canvases is in the National Gallery of British Art . Most of his works have been engraved, and medals have been awarded to him at exhibitions in all parts of the world .
