Life
Stefanović was born in Perlez, Austrian Empire (now Serbia). He was educated at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in 1867, and then at the University of Vienna. He was an associate of Pavle Čortanović. He lived in Pančevo in the 1870s, where he published his lithographs with Čortanović. He is deemed to have been "far better" of an illustrator than his companion.
