Un achat du Musee de Bruxelles
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.

Roosevelt not in picture
Theodore Roosevelt is not included in Howard Chandler Christy’s sketch of the battle of San Juan Hill because he was not in the real battle. Roosevelt and his Rough Riders were taking part in a different skirmish at the time, attacking Kettle Hill, three-quarters of a mile away from San Juan Hill. The picture will be published in an illustrated encyclopedia.
