Friendship Endangered (1858). Frank Stone (English, 1800-1859). Oil on canvas.Stone’s watercolours and canvases proved popular because of their pretty sentimentality, whether of ‘Keepsake’ ladies or romantic and domestic themes. He usually painted only one or a few figures in considerable detail, combining physical beauty with some degree of narrative content. Late in life the artist sometimes returned to what the London Art Journal had called his ‘love-pictures,’ as in Friendship Endangered. -- source link
