Henry Inman was known as a portrait painter, as well as a genre and landscape painter. Inman was apprenticed to the studio of John Wesley Jarvis. Inman opened his own studio in New York; later moving to Philadelphia and becoming the director of the Pennsylvania Academy. James Roosevelt, FDR's great-grandfather, and the oldest son of Isaac Roosevelt, inherited his father's business acumen and interest in politics. James built Mount Hope on the Hudson River, traveling there from his home in Manhattan.
