Rosalynn Carter returned to Washington to sit for this portrait at Blair House. At President Carter’s request, there was no portrait unveiling ceremony. Shoumatoff began work on the president’s second portrait in April 1968 and completed it in late July. This time around, President Johnson participated in more sittings than he had done for Peter Hurd, posing seven times in the Lincoln Sitting Room. The result was an oil portrait with Johnson in the foreground and the Capitol dome in the background to represent his time in the House of Representatives and the Senate. This is the official portrait of President Johnson in the White House Collection.

Harris swears in Pete Buttigieg, who also ran a presidential campaign, as Secretary of Transportation.

The Entrance Hall is used for ceremonial occasions when the President welcome's visitors. Lafayette Park, the seven-acre park in front of the White House was named to honor the Marquis de Lafayette, the French hero of the American Revolution. The park is used for public events and is often a gathering place for protesters.

Naomi Biden wore a blue column dress with a rounded collar that recalled the 1960s styles of Jackie Kennedy. And White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wore a plunging black gown shot through with wiggles of silver glitter, sheer sleeves fluttering over her shoulders. Although the event is lovingly referred to as the “Nerd Prom,” classic prom dresses and ruffle-collared frocks had no place on this red carpet, or on the sidewalks outside, as a flurry of attendees made their way into the event.

Instead, Washington and his secretary of state, Thomas Jefferson, decided that the design would be chosen through a national competition. Located at the country’s most well-known address, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave in Washington, DC, the White House is America’s most iconic home. The official residence and office of the president of the United States, the White House has been the home of every president since John Adams and the site of some of the most important events in American history. The White House is the official residence and principal workplace of the President of the United States, located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Beautifully landscaped lawn with flowers, fountain and blooming trees is in foreground. The White House is the oldest public building in Washington, D.C.

Laura Lane Welch Bush

This portrait of President Ronald Reagan was painted in 1989 by Aaron Shikler, a portraitist known for his paintings of prominent American politicians and celebrities. In addition to Reagan, who posed for this portrait at the end of his presidency, Shikler painted portraits of President John F. Kennedy and first ladies Jacqueline Kennedy and Nancy Reagan. Despite the success of Shikler’s earlier Kennedy portrait, this portrait was widely panned. Reagan sat for this portrait several times and Shikler took photographs during the sittings.

This portrait of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was painted by artist Frank O. Salisbury. Although the artist had difficulty finding time for the president to sit, Roosevelt eventually sat for this portrait in the Oval Office in 1934. This painting was originally for the Genealogical Society of New York, but Salisbury painted this copy which was added to the White House Collection in 1947 as a gift of Myron C. Taylor. White House icons set up to print one color for inexpensive print projects. Black and grayscale, red tints of the same red, blue and tints of the same blue.

Beautiful landscaping has graced the White House grounds since the administration of Thomas Jefferson.

This portrait of First Lady Barbara Bush was done by Charles Fagan in 2005. This was not the portrait presented at the ceremony unveiling the official portrait of President George H.W. Bush on July 17, 1995. Mrs. Bush did not like her first portrait by Herbert E. Abrams and had this second painting completed ten years after the original portrait was unveiled. Millie, the family’s English springer spaniel who lived with the Bushes and gave birth to a litter of puppies at the White House, can be seen at the bottom left. This painting was a gift of Britt and Kaye Rice and was added to the White House Collection in 2005. This oil on canvas portrait of First Lady Rosalynn Carter was painted by American artist George Augusta in 1984, a few years after the end of Jimmy Carter's presidency.

The private residence of the first family is located on the second floor. In addition to the Presidential Bedroom Suite, the second floor includes historic spaces, such as the Queens’ Bedroom, the Treaty Room, the Yellow Oval Room, the Center Hall, and the East and West Sitting Rooms. Jefferson announced the competition—which offered a prize of $500 (or a medal of equal value)—and even reportedly submitted a design himself under the initials “A.Z”. In July of 1792, Irish-born architect James Hoban’s submission was selected by Washington, and he was hired to build the White House. The guests’ dressiness made for a striking contrast with protesters who gathered outside to confront the mix of politicians, media types and A-list celebrities about the war in Gaza. Harris wasn’t the only White House attendee with a standout look.

Works great for political advertising during a presidential election season. This oil on canvas portrait of First Lady Lady Bird Johnson was painted by Elizabeth Shoumatoff in 1968. According to historian William Seale, her portrait “is one of the best likenesses of any in the White House” because it captures Lady Bird well even though she was not always photogenic.

The president called on Russian President Vladimir Putin to release Gershkovich immediately, adding that the White House was also doing everything it could to bring home freelance journalist Austin Tice and businessman Paul Whelan. WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Saturday used his White House Correspondents' Association dinner speech to swipe at former President Donald Trump, taking shots at the presumptive GOP nominee while highlighting the stakes of the election. The VH-92 Patriot is landing only on paved runways for now, flying missions with White House officials or Secret Service staff instead of carrying President Joe Biden. The problem is down to an issue first identified in 2018 — the helicopter’s spinning rotors and engine exhaust sometimes scorch the grass where it lands. The new presidential helicopter has been demoted to backup duty because Lockheed Martin Corp. still can’t figure out how to keep it from scorching the White House’s South Lawn. “The last time I was in DC I left my cocaine at the White House.
