The artwork titled “Roosevelt” is a caricature created by Enrico Caruso in the year 1908. This piece belongs to the genre of caricature, a form distinguished by exaggerated depictions of its subjects, often for comedic or satirical purposes.
In the artwork, a prominent figure is depicted wearing a tall hat adorned with stars, suggestive of patriotic symbolism. The subject’s face is characterized by markedly oversized spectacles, a broad and somewhat mischievous grin, and a pronounced mustache. Distinctive stylistic lines used for the collar and other facial features accentuate the exaggerated essence typical of caricature. The composition reflects both skill and a touch of humor, as emphasized by the exaggerated proportions and the use of minimalistic yet impactful lines.
