Description: "Photograph of Mr G A Stocey [sic] ARA and interior of his studio at 19 St Johns Wood Road. Seated painting a portrait of Lady."

G. A Storey is seated in front of a canvas on an easel, painting a portrait of a woman. He has a palette in hand. Leaning on a chair and standing to his left is the model for his painting, looking at the viewer. The studio walls are covered in framed pictures.

“Some Fine Art Books.” The Graphic, issue 788, Jan. 3, 1885. "Part VI. of 'Artists at Home' (S. Low and Co.), contains the portraits of five very opposite characters—E. J. Poynter, R.A., T. O. Barlow, R.A., Macbeth and Storey, A.R.A.’s, and Mr. Gladstone. The volume fully sustains the promise of the earlier numbers, the photo engravings are excellent, and the letterpress brief and to the point."
