Oil on canvas.Beaux was honoured to be invited to the White House, to paint a double portrait of the President’s wife and daughter, Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt and Daughter Ethel (1902). This shows President Theodore Roosevelt’s second wife Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt, and their daughter Ethel Carow Roosevelt, who was then about eleven years old. Thirty years later Eleanor Roosevelt (who was first cousin to Ethel) stated that Beaux was “the American woman who had made the greatest contribution to the culture of the world.” That year Beaux became a member of the National Academy of Design. -- source link
