John Haberle (1856–1933) was an American painter in the trompe-l’œil (literally, “fool the eye”) style. His still lifes of nameless objects are painted in such a artifice that the painting can be mistaken for the objects themselves. He is considered one of the three major figures—together when William Harnett and John F. Peto—practicing this form of still life painting in the United States in the last quarter of the 19th century.
