[edit] Biography

A native of Galway City, Haverty was first recognized in 1814 after sending a painting to the Hibernian Society of Artists. His 1844 piece, The Limerick Piper, became one of the most famous 19th century lithographs. The work features Patrick O'Brien, a blind Gaelic piper from Labasheeda, popularized by Haverty's painting.[1] He painted genre scenes, landscapes, and portraits, a fine example of the latter features Daniel O’Connell. Haverty died of edema on July 27, 1864 following a long illness, and was buried at Glasnevin Cemetery.[2]
