JOHN HABERLE. A Bachelor's Drawer

A Bachelor's Drawer. Artist: John Haberle (1856-1933). Dimensions: 20 x 36 in. (50.8 x 91.4 cm). Date: 1890-94.
Typical of Haberle's work in its subject, composition, and humor, this is also the last of his successful trompe-l'oeil (French for "fool the eye") still lifes. Arranged against a simulated drawer front and rendered with incredible precision are the souvenirs of a bachelor's freedom, including theater stubs, playing cards, and "girlie" photographs. Other items--including a pamphlet entitled "How To Name the Baby" and a cartoon of a dyspeptic infant--signal the end of bachelorhood. Haberle's self-portrait, in a simulated tintype at the bottom edge of the canvas, suggests that the work may have been autobiographical.
