This illustration shows President Theodore Roosevelt learning jui-jitsu from Yamashita Yoshiaki in the East Room. The spectators include future president William H. Taft, Roosevelt's sons, Theodore, Kermit, Quentin, and Archibald, and three women: most likely Roosevelt's wife, Edith, and daughters Alice and Ethel. Around 1905, the president invited the celebrated martial artist and instructor to the White House to provide a demonstration. The president himself took part in the demonstration in the East Room. This artistic interpretation was created by John Hutton for the White House Historical Association. Hutton's whimsical illustrations were featured in his book "How to Draw the Presidents," published by the White House Historical Association.

This portrait of First Lady Edith Kermit Carow Roosevelt was painted in 1902 by Théobald Chartran, a French artist who became one of the most fashionable portraitists of the early 20th century. Mrs. Roosevelt, wife of President Theodore Roosevelt who served in office from September 14, 1901 until March 4, 1909, poses in the colonial garden, known today as the Rose Garden, which she established near the White House's new West Wing. Chartran repositioned the South Portico so it would appear in the portrait for aesthetic effect. Bates Littlehales photographed the portrait and its frame in March 1962 during the John F. Kennedy administration.
