Harnett, William (1848-1892) - 1880 Still Life with Three Castle's Tobacco
William Harnett (1848 –1892) was an Irish-American painter who practiced a trompe l'oeil (literally, "fool the eye") style of realistic painting. His still lifes of ordinary objects, arranged on a ledge or hanging from a nail, are painted in a way that the painting can be mistaken for the objects themselves.
