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. [ [http://www.whytes.ie/Biographies/BiogsFtoL.htm#haverty] Haverty at Whytes Auctioneers.

Haverty died of edema on July 27, 1864 following a long illness, and was buried at Glasnevin Cemetery. [Strickland, Henry G. A Dictionary of Irish Artists.
