Sir Peter Lely  - Portrait of Henry Stone - ca. 1648

Sir Peter Lely (14 September 1618 – 7 December 1680)[1][2] was a painter of Dutch origin whose career was nearly all spent in England, where he became the dominant portrait painter to the court. He became a naturalised British subject and was knighted in 1679.

Henry Stone (1616 – 24 Aug 1653), known as "Old Stone", was an English painter and copyist of the works of Van Dyck.

Henry was the eldest son of notable sculptor and architect Nicholas Stone (1586/7-1647); his brothers Nicholas Stone Jr. (1618–1647) and John Stone (1620–67) were sculptors and masons. Henry went to Holland, where he was apprenticed to his uncle, the painter Thomas de Keyser. He later went on a tour of the continent with his brother Nicholas Jr. visiting France, and Italy to study art, and returned in 1642. After his father's death he and his youngest brother John carried on their father's business of masonry and statuary.

Stone was, however, chiefly known as a portrait painter, and was an excellent copyist of the works of Van Dyck and the Italian Masters. He also published a short work on painting, called "The Third Part of the Art of Painting".

Stone inherited his father's house and workyard in Long Acre, London and died there on 24 August 1653. He was buried on 27 August near his father in St. Martin's Church, and on his inscription it is stated that he had passed the greatest part of thirty-seven years in Holland, France, and Italy. He is usually known as ‘Old Stone’ to distinguish him from his younger brothers.

Henry's Stone's portrait was painted by Sir Peter Lely.

William Dobson - Portrait of Henry Stone with his son - 

oil on canvas, height: 125.3 cm (49.3 in); width: 100 cm (39.3 in)

This is probably a replica of Dobson's portrait of the painter Henry Stone and his son from the collection of the Duke of Somerset in Northumberland House. However the correct identification sould be then: Nicholas Stone (1586/7-1647) - the elder man and Henry Stone (1616-1653), the younger man.

William Dobson (4 March 1611 (baptised); 28 October 1646 (buried)) was a portraitist and one of the first significant English painters, praised by his contemporary John Aubrey as “the most excellent painter that England has yet bred”. He died relatively young and his final years were disrupted by the English Civil War.

Henry Stone (1616 – 24 Aug 1653), known as "Old Stone", was an English painter and copyist of the works of Van Dyck.

Does the Eight of Swords fit Henry "Hank" Stone?

Yes, this is the perfect card for him!

This fits him well enough.

No, another Swords card would work better.

No, another card entirely would work better.

I don't know this character (Results)

The Eight of Swords represents feeling trapped, being paralyzed by fear, overthinking, anxiety, powerlessness, persecution, and hopelessness. Reversed, it indicates escape, freedom, taking control, survival, a new path, survival, and new hope.

“Choking to Death (From the Ties That Bind)”

From Swamp Dogg’s fourth album, Gag A Maggot from 1973. It was released on the Stone Dogg label, which had connections to Miami’s R&B/soul/funk svengali Henry Stone. It’s not the slamdunk Total Destruction To Your Mind was but it’s damn close. This may be my favorite cut: a nice, looping country-funk groove with a typically Dogg-ish take on a worn-out cliche.

Dig it.
