Mark Twain Oil Portraitc. 1880
c. 1880
About the Item
John Haberle (1856-1933) was an American painter in the trompe-l'œil period and was most commonly known for his skill of painting objects that were laid out so perfectly that they could be mistaken for the objects themselves. This artist is considered one of the three major artists of this period. Although he was most famous for his Still Life works, there are many portraits that he made. Mark Twain, a famous writer of the gilded age known for his many stories, especially The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Haberle and Twain were known to be neighbors. This work is attributed to Haberle because of his location, friendship with the writer, and his overall style in portrait paintings. This seems to be an absolutely magnificent painting of the young writer from this greatly accredited artist!
