Sterner was born to a Jewish family in London, and attended King Edward's School, Birmingham. After a brief period in Germany, he studied drawing in Paris with Jean-Léon Gérôme and Gustave Boulanger.[1] He eventually moved to the United States in 1879 to join his family who had previously moved to Chicago.[2][3] His brother was the architect Frederick Sterner, who had a career in Chicago and Denver before joining his brother in New York.[4]
