This portrait-format drawing depicts a woman with an oversized head, curled hair, a cape or scarf, shorts, stockings, and roller skates. Handwritten text identifies it as a caricature of “Ma Bogash,” notes “Birthday - March 3.”
The lower inscription includes the artist name (Chas.) Charles R. Steindl and a copyright date of March 15, 1939. After he had emigrated to the U.S.A., Hungarian-born Charles R. Steindl first worked as a photographer. Later, in the 1930s, he wisely turned to the art of caricature, which brought him recognition.
