This portrait-style caricature depicts Florence Rogish, as identified by the handwritten label on the sheet. The skater is shown with an oversized head, curled hair, a long-sleeve skating outfit, striped shorts, and roller skates, with motion lines suggesting speed. Additional handwritten text lists a birthday of Jan. 1.
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.
