The Haberle style is known for the fact that it neither structured as precisely as William Michael Harnett nor as colorfully as John Frederick Peto , who, alongside him, are considered to be the main exponents of this style in the late 19th century. Haberle is known for his technically very well implemented compositions and for the humorous elements in his pictures. Less than 40 works have survived from him today. In 1949 the work of the long-forgotten painter was rediscovered.
