This painting by Peter Waddell serves as an interpretation of the White House conservatories, which were removed during the 1902 renovation and replaced by the West Wing. Seen in the painting are Kermit Roosevelt, President Theodore Roosevelt's second son and third child, playing in the conservatory with his blue macaw Eli Yale, named after the benefactor of Yale University, Elihu Yale, and his cat, Tom Quartz. Kermit's mother, First Lady Edith Roosevelt, watches her son in the background. ***Interior use only for publications***
