    "An accomplished animal sculptor, Roth portrayed humorous aspects of animal life, often modeling his subjects in local zoos. "Performing Elephants" are among a series of sculptures depicting circus animals performing stunts. Roth's careful depiction of the elephant's muscles, bones, and leathery hide reflects his training in both art and veterinary anatomy. The original signed statuettes were purchased from Roth in 1906
    at a time when the Metropolitan Museum of Art was making a special effort to collect smaller bronzes by American sculptors.
