Kavanagh was a portrait and landscape painter. He studied at The Metropolitan School of Art in Dublin. He was greatly influenced by the Dutch painters of the Golden Age. He was Keeper of The Royal Hibernian Academy from 1910 until his death. His works can be seen in The National Gallery of Ireland. He was a prolific artist, exhibiting 224 works in total at the RHA from 1875 until 1918. However, his works are rare owing to the fact that the contents of his studio were destroyed by fire at the RHA premises during The Easter Rising of 1916.
