Sketch of Albert Einstein Charcoal drawing, 1935 Carola Spaeth Hauschka B. 1883 D. 1948 This well-known portrait of Albert Einstein by Carola Spaeth Hauschka was used in the February 1936 edition of Fortune magazine. Prints made from the original are still being sold. Hauschka’s son, Theodore, a graduate of Princeton University, was a biology teacher at Chestnut Hill Academy from 1935 to 1939. It is assumed that the dedication to My Friends at Chestnut Hill Academy is in fact from Albert Einstein himself.
