Some speculate that the painting is of Teddy Roosevelt's spitfire daughter, Alice. Apparently the print was done during the time that Alice was quite the sensation. According to Wikipedia:Alice blue is a pale tint of azure that was favored by Alice Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of Theodore Roosevelt and which sparked a fashion sensation in the United States. The hit song "Alice Blue Gown", inspired by Longworth's signature gown, premiered in the 1919 Broadway musical Irene. The musical was made into a film in 1940 starring Anna Neagle and Ray Milland.
