Theodore Roosevelt’s Portrait by Gari Melchers

September 6, 2018 by Michelle Crow-Dolby Leave a Comment

Gari Melchers, Portrait of President Theodore Roosevelt, 1908, Freer Gallery of Art

An article that appears in the most recent issue of the White House History Quarterly takes a deep dive into 1909 when Charles Lang Freer commissioned American artist Gari Melchers to paint President Theodore Roosevelt’s portrait.  The author does a nice job putting this event into a broader context and cites education and communications manager Michelle Crow-Dolby’s blog post “Painting a President” for details that provide important insight into the artist’s experience.
