The Brussels Museum recently acquired the painting “The Duo,” by Gonzales Coques, at the sale of the late Maurice Kann’s collection. Had the painting been closely examined and the crest of the van Roosevelts been recognized, the painting may have been sold for much more, or may have been purchased by an American buyer, because of its connection with former president Theodore Roosevelt. The article provides a brief overview of Coques’s career as a painter in the 1600s.
