John Haberle's "Confederate Note" is a notable example of trompe-l'œil painting, a genre that uses realistic imagery to create the optical illusion that depicted objects exist in three dimensions. Haberle, an American artist active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is celebrated for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to deceive the viewer's eye. "Confederate Note" exemplifies these skills, showcasing Haberle's talent for rendering objects with such precision that they appear tangible.

The painting features a Confederate States of America currency note, rendered with extraordinary accuracy. Haberle's choice of subject matter is significant, as Confederate currency was rendered worthless after the Civil War, symbolizing the collapse of the Confederacy. By focusing on this obsolete currency, Haberle not only demonstrates his technical prowess but also engages with themes of history, value, and illusion. The note is often depicted alongside other objects, such as postage stamps, coins, and newspaper clippings, all painted with the same meticulous care, further enhancing the illusion of reality.

Haberle's work is often compared to that of his contemporaries, such as William Harnett and John F. Peto, who were also masters of trompe-l'œil. However, Haberle's paintings are distinguished by their playful engagement with the viewer, often incorporating elements that invite closer inspection and reward careful observation. "Confederate Note" is a prime example of this, as the viewer is drawn in by the lifelike depiction of the note and the surrounding objects, only to realize upon closer examination that they are all painted.

The painting is a testament to Haberle's skill and his ability to blur the line between art and reality. It remains a significant work within the trompe-l'œil genre and continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its thought-provoking subject matter.
