Mark Twain Oil Portrait
By John Haberle
Located in Fredericksburg, VA
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.

American Portrait of the Artist's Wife by Herman Hyneman
Located in Larchmont, NY
Herman Hyneman (1849-1907)
Portrait of the Artist's Wife, c. late 19th century
Oil on canvas
21 1/2 x 29 1/2 in.
Framed: 27 1/2 x 35 1/4 in.
The following is from Peter Jung who credits "a friend named Jeff Gold on Long Island."
Herman N. Hyneman (1849 - 1907) was born in 1849 to one of the most prominent Jewish families in Philadelphia. Unlike most Jewish families of the time, his embraced and encouraged his artistic talent. In 1874, Hyneman followed his first cousin Moses Ezekiel, National Academy member, to Europe to study. They first went to Germany and then to France where Hyneman began eight years of study with Leon Bonnat, the French Master.
In Paris, the twenty-five year old Hyneman resided in a studio building at 75 Boulevard Clichy, with expatriates Frederic Arthur Bridgeman, Charles Sprague Pearce, Milne Ramsey, and Edwin Blashfield. Hyneman was clearly exposed to the works of these more experienced artists, as well as that of Walter Gay.
In 1879, one of Hyneman's genre paintings, entitled "Desdemona", was accepted into the Paris Salon. That painting received favorable reviews both in Europe, and later in Philadlephia where it was exhibited alongside the works of other Philadelphia Artists exhibiting at the Salon that included Thomas Eakins, Pearce, Edward May...
