FROM THE ROOSEVELT ESTATE! THEODORE ROOSEVELT ON HORSEBACK GRAPHITE

From the Roosevelt Estate! Theodore Roosevelt on Horseback Graphite, Gouache, & Ink on paper. This work believed to have formerly hung in the home of Theodore Roosevelt. It has been passed down through family and eventually ended up in the current sellers possession in Prescott, AZ. After being part of the Theodore Roosevelt estate, it was passed to granddaughter of Teddy Roosevelt, Edith Roosevelt Derby Williams (1917-2008). Afterwards the painting went to Andrew Murray Williams III (1942-2004) the firstborn son of Edith. April Moore Williams married Andrew Murray Williams III around 1985. April then gifted the painting to Kathleen "Kiki" Carey which can be seen from the Christmas card that comes along with the work in which April says to Kathleen; "Andy's mother kept this in her home for many years. She gave it to Andy not long after he came to Alaska. I thought it might have some meaning for you." Kathleen Carey passed away in 2008 in Prescott, AZ, and the current owner acquired the work from her estate sale shortly afterwards. Ref: BD1923
