Theodore Roosevelt sits in this three-quarter length portrait turned to his right, a pose that shows his upper body and the set of his shoulders rather than the full figure. The photograph dates to about 1900, a period when Roosevelt was rising fast in national politics after his service as New York's governor and before he became the 26th president in 1901 following the assassination of William McKinley. Portraits from these years were widely reproduced and circulated, helping to build the vigorous public image that Roosevelt cultivated, so the picture is a useful window onto how he presented himself at the threshold of his presidency.
