This portrait-style caricature shows a female roller skater with an oversized head, curled dark hair, roller skates, shorts, and knee pads. Handwritten text identifies the drawing as a caricature of “Mary Voupelle” and notes a birthday of March 17.
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.
