Alice Roosevelt Longworth, the daughter of Theodore Roosevelt by his first wife, Alice Hathaway Lee, is the sitter here, shown in a half-length seated pose turned toward the right. The record dates the portrait to 1928, by which point she was in her forties and had long since become a fixture of Washington society, known for her wit and her outspoken remarks. Her marriage to Nicholas Longworth, who served as Speaker of the House, made her a prominent figure in the capital for decades. Portraits like this one show how the public image of a president's daughter was shaped, somewhere between the formality of the period and her own sharp personality.
