Stephanoff became a popular painter of historical and domestic subjects, working both in oils and watercolors. He exhibited at the Royal Academy and British Institution from 1807-1845, and with the Old Watercolor Society from 1815-1820. For Sir George Nayler’s sumptuous work on the coronation of George IV he drew in watercolors a series of costume portraits, which went to the South Kensington Museum. His work can also be found in the British Museum.
